The Galilee Liberation Brigades claimed the latest Palestinian terrorist attack in Jerusalem, in which a gunman shot two Israel Border Police guards at the Old City’s Lions’ Gate just before midnight on July 11 and vanished in the nearby ancient Muslim cemetery.
Both, seriously hurt, returned fire but failed to stop him. One policeman took a head wound; the second was shot in the chest. The assailant apparently aware of the video camera overhead covered his face.
Police commissioner Dudi Cohen said he saw no links in the six Palestinian lone-wolf attacks in Jerusalem this year, costing 12 Israeli lives - any more than he did after a lone assailant murdered eight students at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva last March. The police also dismiss the Hizballah-sponsored Galilee Liberation Brigades which claimed previous attacks as non-existent.
In the last outrage it claimed earlier this month, a Jerusalem Palestinian used a bulldozer to mow down cars and pedestrians on the capital’s Jaffa Street, killing three people before he was overpowered and shot dead.

Someone who does not believe or accept the connection between these events and Hamas would possibly argue that - they are criminals, like criminals in any city. They were caught for some crime and they shot the police and ran away. That does not make them terrorists nor Hamas.
Yes and this is true except for the close stranglehold Hamas has on Gaza and Jerusalem. Palestinians do not commit crimes unless Hamas directs the crime to be committed.
Rocket attacks, bulldozer attack, bombing attack on an IDF vehicle - daily attacks ... there is no truce, it is a charade, and the only ones who lose are the Israelis.
