CNN — Hamas said the attackers behind a Jerusalem bus stop shooting that killed three people on Thursday were members of its military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades.

Seven people were also injured after the two attackers, identified by Hamas as two brothers, opened fire on a group of people in Jerusalem, authorities said.

The shooting in Jerusalem comes amid a truce between Israel and Hamas which has seen a pause in the fighting and the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

      From first principles, the goal of imprisonment is threefold:

      1. As punishment
      2. To protect society from the risk of recidivism
      3. To provide them with a stable environment to provide them with assistance aimed towards reducing recidivism.

      Terrorists are motivated by ideology and without significant intervention are basically guaranteed to have 100% chance of repeating their acts.

      I don’t think keeping them in prison forever is a solution, but neither is sticking them in there for 10 years, clearly.
