The Izz ad-Din al-Qassem Brigades of Hamas' military wing today (Monday) officially claimed responsibility for the shooting attack in Ariel on Friday, in which security guard Vyacheslav (Daniel) Golev was killed.

Hamas announced that the attack was only part of a chain of reactions following the "aggression on the Temple Mount."

Over the weekend, the two terrorists who carried out the attack in Ariel were arrested.

The perpetrators are 19-year-old Yahya Marai and 20-year-old Yussef Assi, both residents of the nearby village of Karvat Ein Hassan.

The two had already been arrested last year by security forces.
