Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum stated on Monday that the Israeli decision to exonerate the perpetrators was an insolent challenge to the Palestinian people's feelings and official encouragement for more crimes and terrorist attacks against the Palestinians.
Spokesman Barhoum emphasized that Israel practices systematic state terrorism and always confers legitimacy on its war crimes.
"This file and all files of the crimes committed by the Israeli occupation must be referred to the international criminal court and there should be decisions that curb this entity and isolate it internationally as well as the international institutions should impose economic, security, military, and political sanctions on Israel, expose its crimes and support the justice of the Palestinian cause," the spokesman underlined.

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli committee, assigned to investigate the operation that led years ago to the killing of Al-Qassam Brigades commander Salah Shehadeh nine and many civilians, said that the bombing of a residential area to kill a wanted person was a legitimate target.
The committee stated in a report handed to the Israeli premier on Sunday that the Israelis, who carried out this attack, did not commit a crime.
A 2002 Israeli air strike in Gaza City killed
Hamas military wing commander Salah Shehadeh and killed 14 civilians,
including eight children.
It also did not recommend taking any legal action against them, claiming that the killing of innocent people during the attack was not as a result of any disregard for human life but of wrong assessments and inadequate intelligence information.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri commented on this Israeli report in a statement to the Palestinian information center (PIC), saying that this report confirmed that Israel legitimizes the indiscriminate and unintentional killing of Palestinians.
The spokesman underlined that what Israel had committed was a war crime and a violation of international law and human rights, stressing that this Israeli admission is extremely dangerous
Nine years ago, the Israeli air force carried out a heinous crime in Al-Darj neighborhood in Gaza city when its airforce dropped a one ton bomb at an apartment building killing 17 Palestinians and injuring dozens of them.
In another incident, the Hebrew radio said on Sunday that the Israeli fact-finding committee of Turkel that was formed last year to probe the deadly attack on Freedom Flotilla aid convoy summoned the attorney general Yehuda Weinstein for interrogation.
Weinstein was informed that he must appear before Turkel committee next month to respond to violations of international law and accusations against him of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.
