The attack in Jerusalem, in which seven civilians were injured, after being shot by a terrorist resident of Silwan in the capital, also led to the reactions of the terrorist organizations in Gaza, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, against which an operation was conducted in the Gaza Strip only about a week ago.

"The heroic and courageous action in Jerusalem is a natural response to the arrogance of the occupation soldiers and the Zionist settlers and their daily crimes against our people, our country and our holy places for Muslims and Christians, and the ongoing invasion of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque," Hamas responded.

The terrorist organization also said: "This heroic and high-quality process is confirmation of the continued escalation in occupied Jerusalem, and that our Palestinian people are fully aware that resistance is the only way to protect the land and the holy places. The repressive measures of the occupation and the tightening of the security grip on our people in Jerusalem will not weaken us forever."

The spokesman for the Islamic Jihad, Tarek Az-Al-Din, welcomed the attack: "We in the Islamic Jihad movement welcome the heroic attack in Jerusalem and emphasize that it comes in the context of the continued resistance to the occupation. The attack comes to say that the occupation has no place on our land and he will not feel safe at all The resistance continues. The location of this heroic attack in the heart of the occupied city of Jerusalem indicates that Jerusalem is Arab, Palestinian, Muslim. And all the attempts to Judaize it, and commit war crimes against us in Jerusalem, will not change its Palestinian reality."
