It should stop. The first attack, on August 31, 2010, killed four people and the second, on September 1, wounded two. Hamas's armed wing, the Izz el-Din al-Qassam Brigades, claimed responsibility and called the attacks part of "a series of operations." Attacking civilians is never justified. It should stop."
