Hamas: "We Targetted Knesset, Shimon Peres"

TEL AVIV – In a new development, Hamas today said it fired a rocket toward the Knesset in Jerusalem as residents in Israel’s capital city were preparing for Shabbat.
Hamas also claimed to WND they were targeting the home of Israeli President Shimon Peres.

Abu Abdullah, a spokesman for Hamas’s so-called military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, told WND: “This is not the end of the surprises we can have.”

“In some circumstances, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem will not be the last station of our targets.”
Air sirens were heard in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas today. Security sources confirmed one rocket had landed in the Jerusalem area.

Hamas took responsibility for the rocket, saying it fired what Hamas is calling a Qassam M76, or upgraded Qassam rocket. Hamas said their target was the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, as well as the official residence of Peres.
