Headline writers at The Independent prove to be masters of understatement:

Hamas fails to condemn Eilat bomb that killed three

You have to read the article to find out that Hamas actually justified the attack:

Hamas, which controls the Palestinian Authority, notably refrained from condemning the bombing, with one of its Gaza spokesmen, Fawzi Barhoum, calling it a “natural response” to Israeli military policies in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as its boycott of the authority. ” So long as there is occupation, resistance is legitimate,” he said.
