EU condemns shooting at West Bank settlement

The European Union has condemned the terror attack by a Palestinian gunman which killed three Israelis, a police officer and two security guards at the entrance to the West Bank settlement of Har Adar. Another security guard was gravely injured.

“There can be no justification for such a crime and attempts by Hamas to glorify the attack are reprehensible. Violence and terror will only achieve more loss and pain and must stop,” the European Union’s External Action Service said in a statement issued on Tuesday.

“The European Union offers its deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the shootings,” the statement concluded.
