Hezbollah hails 'heroic' Palestinian attack in east Jerusalem
Hezbollah has praised an attack by a Palestinian gunman that killed seven Israelis as "heroic."
In a statement, the Lebanese group also voiced "absolute support for all the steps taken by the Palestinian resistance factions."
The attack took place outside a synagogue in a settler neighborhood in east Jerusalem. It came a day after one of the deadliest Israeli army raids in the occupied West Bank in roughly two decades, as well as rocket fire from militants in the Gaza Strip and Israeli retaliatory air strikes.
Several Arab nations that have ties with Israel -- including Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates -- condemned Friday night's shooting.
