Former defense minister Avigdor Liberman wrote on Twitter this morning: "Congratulations to the security forces on the elimination of the despicable terrorists who carried out horrific terrorist attacks." It is clear beyond a doubt that at least in one case it was a Hamas cell, operated by the Hamas leadership in the Gaza Strip."

The chairman of the Yisrael Beytenu Party added, "I demand that the Israeli government immediately announce the stopping of the transfer of money and fuel with Qatari funding to the Strip."
