Hamas condemned Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority on Thursday for his condolences on the passing of Shim'on Peres and his planned attendance at Friday's funeral.
Referring to a shelling during the Grapes of Wrath operation against Hezbollah in 1996, the terror organization issued a statement that said, "We view this as disregard for the blood of the martyrs and the suffering of the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people expressed satisfaction with the death of Peres, who carried out the massacre in Qana, Lebanon and other crimes against the Palestinian people."
