Hamas followers in Ein al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp responded with cheers after hearing reports of the suicide bombing near Tel Aviv that resulted in the deaths of 15 Israelis, the Beirut-based Daily Star reported.
Cars equipped with loud-speakers toured Ein al-Hilweh broadcasting news of the attack alongside popular marches. Candy and Arabic sweets were handed out to passing motorists and students to celebrate Tuesday's attack.
One Palestinian refugee shouted during the celebration: "Long live Hamas - it is our only salvation."
Meanwhile, in the neighboring Sidon fruit and vegetable market, television screens were provided in order to keep the market's customers on top of "the latest reports on the successful operation."
Hamas is based in Gaza. They are the group which took credit(?)for the homicide bombing yesterday.
Today they may reap what they have sown.
