Qualitative Op in Occupied Al-Quds: Dozens Wounded

Local Editor

In a new qualitative operation, twenty-one "Israelis" were injured when an explosive device blew up on a bus on Monday afternoon, causing it to catch on fire while in occupied al-Quds.

"Israeli" police initially said there was "an attack" without providing further details before later saying all causes were being investigated.

Reports added that two of the wounded are in critical conditions.

Media reports further mentioned that the Zionist enemy launched sirens in the vicinity of Gaza Strip.

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the explosion. "We will punish the terrorists behind the bus explosion," his spokesperson quoted him as saying. ""Israel" will put its hand on whoever prepared the bomb and sent the terrorists."

Several Palestinian groups hailed the reported operation.

"We bless the operation, and consider it a natural reaction to the "Israeli" crimes, especially field executions and the desecration of the al-Aqsa Mosque," the Hamas movement said in a message on social media.

Meanwhile, Islamic Jihad said the explosion was a strong message that the Palestinian uprising was ongoing and alive, and that resistance was entrenched in Palestinian hearts and minds.

Popular Resistance Movement leader Haitham al-Ashqar said that "heroic operations" were "a natural and rightful response" to continuous "Israeli" violations against Palestinians.

Al-Ashqar called on Palestinian resistance fighters and "Intifada youths" to carry out more "heroic operations that hurt the occupation and its settlers."
