The 31 August 2010 West Bank shooting was a Palestinian terror attack near the settlement of Kiryat Arba in the Israeli occupied West bank, in which four settler Israelis, one of the them a pregnamt women, were shot multiple times until they died.
Attack
The police believe that gunmen opened fire from a vehicle driving alongside the victim's car, and that the victim's car may have been forced off the road after the driver was killed. A paramedic with Magen David Adom described the scene to a journalist, saying that he saw "a car that was pierced with dozens of bullets and inside there were four bodies. There was absolutely no chance of helping."
Victims
One of the murdered couples was from Beit Hagai. Their names were Yitzhak and Tali Ames, ages 45 and 47. They were the parents of 6 children, ranging in age form 5 to 24, and of 1 grandchild.
Response
Claims of responsibility
According to Agence France-Presse, the military wing of Hamas issued a statement reading, "The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigade claims full responsibility.",
In a separate statement, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said, "Hamas blesses the Hebron operation and considers it as a normal reaction to the occupation crime."
Statements
Israeli Vice Prime Minister Silvan Shalom, who was acting prime minister at the time of the incident because Prime Minister Netanyahu was abroad, said, "Unfortunately we are once again witness to the fact that while we are working to find ways to co-exist and create a reality of peace, there are those who continue to take the path of terror and are busy killing innocents," and "Today it is clearer more than ever that the real obstacle to peace is terrorism and the extremists who will do anything to send the entire region up in flames. It is incumbent on the Palestinian Authority to fulfill its obligations in the territories that are under its purview."
