Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have claimed responsibility for an attempted massive suicide bombing in Tel Aviv, which occurred last night. The attack, described as a 'martyrdom operation,' failed and resulted in the death of the attacker. The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, along with Saraya al-Quds, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, have stated that such operations will continue as long as Israeli actions, described as massacres, forced displacements, and an ongoing policy of assassinations, persist. Both groups have emphasized their intention to carry out further attacks within Israeli territories.
