The terrorist organization Hamas defended a Palestinian who killed two senior citizens and wounded two others in a stabbing attack in the city of Holon, near Tel Aviv on Sunday.

The terror group described the stabbing attack as a "natural response" to Israeli attacks on Palestinians as well as assassination of the group's leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in Tehran last week, according to Reuters.

The attacker was shot dead by police, according to Israeli authorities.

The stabbings occurred near a gas station and a park during morning rush hour.
