Ramallah : Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has condemned the double attack that left 10 people killed and dozens of others injured in West Jerusalem Thursday night.
“President Abbas condemns the attack as well as all forms of violence against civilians whether Palestinians or Israelis,” Abbas said in a brief statement.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian cabinet decried the attack and deemed it as running counter to the Palestinian interests.
One of the two attackers is a resident of Jebel Al-Mukabber, East Jerusalem, the Israeli authorities said without naming him.
The double attack took place at a time when the Israeli army was pursuing its onslaught against the Gaza Strip. The onslaught left 125 Palestinians, mainly civilians, dead and hundreds of others injured, so far.
