Hamas Claims Responsibility for Kidnapping and Murder of Three Israeli Teens
(Ha'aretz) Jack Khoury - Salach al-Aruri, a senior Hamas official based in Turkey, boasted during a conference in Istanbul on Wednesday that Hamas' al-Qassam Brigades were behind the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank in June. "The al-Qassam's mujahedeen were the ones to carry out [the abduction]," he told an event organized by the International Union of Muslim Scholars. Previously, Hamas had refrained from taking responsibility for the abduction and murder.
