The Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a far-left Palestinian group, claimed responsibility for the attack on a synagogue on Tuesday that left five Israelis dead and seven wounded, and said the two assailants, the cousins Oudai Abu Jamal and Ghassan Abu Jamal, were its members. The group saluted the attackers and praised their killing of Israelis. After the attack, the group claimed responsibility and said that the attack was a natural result to the crimes committed by Israel, which has been occupying Palestinian territories for decades.
In a statement, Khalil Maqdesi, a member of the Central Committee of the PFLP, said: "The operation in Jerusalem is a natural response to the ongoing racist policies and crimes of the occupation, and it is the occupation that is responsible for the escalation in Jerusalem and throughout Palestine. We are witnessing lynching, the targeting of Palestinians, demolishing homes, confiscating land, building colonies and taking unprecedented measures against Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem on a daily basis."
