JERUSALEM, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Two Hamas gunmen killed three people at a Jerusalem bus stop during morning rush hour on Thursday, and Israel reiterated its commitment to wiping out the Palestinian Islamist faction, whose Oct. 7 killing spree triggered the Gaza war.

The attackers, Palestinians from East Jerusalem, were shot dead by off-duty soldiers and an armed civilian, police said. At least eight people were also wounded in the shooting.

“The terrorists arrived at the scene by car in the morning, armed with an M-16 rifle and a handgun,” police said. “The terrorists began shooting at civilians before subsequently being killed at the scene.”

Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, claimed responsibility for the Jerusalem attack, deeming it “heroic”.

    I agree. Hamas is evil and needs to be stopped, but Isreal clearly doesn’t care about civilian casualties. They don’t even seem to be pretending.

    This is the definition of over-retaliation. Like if you compare the severity of the atrocities, it’s like Hamas slapped Isreal in the face, so Isreal grabbed a hammer and started bludgeoning.
