Hamas warned foreigners to leave Israel as it vowed to launch more attacks. Hamas claimed responsibility for Wednesday’s bus bombing in Jerusalem that killed 17 and wounded more than 100. In a statement sent to Reuters, Hamas said the attack “is the beginning of a new series of revenge attacks” for Israel’s earlier assassination attempt of its military leader, “in which we will target every Zionist occupying our land.”
