The Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades terrorist organization, a military wing of the Palestinian Authority’s leading Fatah faction headed by PA leader Mahmoud Abbas, claimed responsibility for the attack.

“We claim responsibility for the heroic operation in the colony of Ariel in which a Zionist officer was killed, in response to violations committed by the occupation government in Jerusalem,” the group said in its statement.

Nevertheless, Israeli officials said the two killers did not appear to be linked to any terrorist organization.
