Kirby: Jerusalem attack does not 'technically' violate cease-fire agreement
Thursday morning's shooting carried out by Hamas at a Jerusalem bus stop did not violate the cease-fire agreement because "this attack happened in Jerusalem" and "the pause is in the fighting more specific to Gaza," National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said.
"It didn't technically violate the deal that was in place, but obviously it's a stark reminder of who they’re facing and what kind of enemy they’re opposing," Kirby continued.
"If anybody's guessing and wondering whether Hamas still has murderous intentions against the Israeli people, just look at what happened in Jerusalem," Kirby said.
At least three people were killed in Thursday's shooting. The two gunmen were killed by two off-duty Israeli soldiers and a civilian who were near the scene, according to Israeli police.
Hamas claimed responsibility, saying the shooting was in response to Israel's "unprecedented crimes" including "brutal massacres" in Gaza and the killing of children in the occupied West Bank.
