Gaza's streets filled with joyous crowds of thousands on Thursday evening following the terror attack at a Jerusalem rabbinical seminary in which eight people were killed.
In mosques in Gaza City and northern Gaza, many residents went to perform the prayers of thanksgiving.
Armed men fired in the air in celebration and others passed out sweets to passersby.
Hamas stopped just short of claiming responsibility but issued a statement saying the group "blesses the (Jerusalem) operation. It will not be the last,'' Hamas said in a statement.
An Islamic Jihad spokesman Abu Ahmed told Ynet the blame for the attack lay with Israel for its operations in Gaza. "The responsibility lies with those who killed 130 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them children," he said. "We welcome this heroic act and strengthen the hands of those who carried it out. This is only the first of many responses the Palestinian people are planning."
The spokesman, a member of the organization's military wing – the al-Quds Brigades – said Israel is "reaping what it has sown in the Strip. Those who carried out the attack have brought great pride and raised the heads of the Palestinians."

Um, it wasn’t mostly children. Also, it’s operations in Gaza are because of ATTACKS BY HAMAS.
Not that the media will take the string of events all the way back to who started it.
Islam is a religion of peace. NOT!!!!
As I remember, they danced in the streets after 9/11, also.
I don’t think I have ever seen large crowds of Israelis running riot in the streets celebrating the deaths of Palestinians.
Interesting.
It is long, long past time that the IDF crush these vermin.
IMHO, Gaza and the West Bank should not only be occupied...they should be made a part of Israel.
After the terrorists and all those abetting them are crushed with extreme prejudice...the remaining people there who have no terrorist ties, should have the opportunity to either swear allegiance to Isareal and start a track towards citzenship...or be forthwith deported.
Anyone with terrorist ties should be either incarcerated or executed depending on the severity of their crimes.
If the other Arab countries try and militarily intervene...then they should get their backsides handed to them on the same platter this other is served up on.
The orcs are having a party - I hope the IDF crashes it.
Savages.
The palestinian celebrations over the mutder of 8 religious students (teenagers?) should be broadcast on Nightly News in every national capital.
Would these be the same people Obama wants to have talks with?
Well, isn't that special?
You know packed area, lots of people. Really I wish Israel would lease out the Gaza to weapons developers. It would make a great testing ground for missiles, napalm, and the like perfect indicator of what urban deployment would look like.
They danced in the street whan saddam’s SCUDs hit Tel Aviv too. Let us hope God will not be mocked.
I’m amazed that folks can sneak in and gun down folks with machine guns and then have the folks back home cheering in the streets. Imagine if you were intelligent like Man, standing off at a distance and witnessing this, you would think, let’s destroy this mindless race of creatures and nuke the whole freakin’ planet.
Agree 100%, but it’ll never happen, at least under this government. Israeli government’s first response to the attack was to babble that it will not derail the peace process with Fatah.
By the way, Al-Aqsa Martyrs are claiming responsibility for the attack. They are Fatah’s terrorist wing.
Remember a year ago when Israelis were forced to evacuate Gaza, in return for an truce agreement that they would not use Gaza to launce attacks on Israel? When will they learn not to negotiate with these vermin, they never hold their end of a bargin.
Don’t worry, these are BO’s people. He can negotiate a just peace. Just wait you’ll see. /sarcasm
One day, in the not too distant future, they won’t be laughing..
liberals never call for gun control in the one area of the world it's really needed..isn't that amazing ???
Orcs.. one of the best descriptions of them ever made..
Well, Israel let out hundreds of Al Aqsa terrorists from the prisons after making them sign some pathetic paper promising that they’ll never engage in terrorism again. No, I’m not kidding. None of this surprises me anymore.
