Reactions

The Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas , which controls the Gaza Strip , said that al-Qanbar's act was "heroic" and called for further attacks to be carried out. The PFLP welcomed the act in a press release as "heroic action". The sister organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command described in a press release from the same day the "override" - as the wording was chosen - as beneficial. The Israeli government blamed the terrorist militia Islamic State for the attack.
