Palestinian National Forces eulogizes “Martyrs of our people who were assassinated in cold blood” by Israel
Headline: “The Forces: The summary assassinations will not break the will of our people”
“The National and Islamic Forces emphasized that the occupation’s ongoing policy of crime and aggression will not break the will of our people that adheres to its rights, its fundamental principles, and its resistance for freedom and independence.
They added in a statement after their meeting yesterday [Sept. 19, 2016] in Ramallah that the summary assassinations being perpetrated by the occupation in the Palestinian streets and at the military checkpoints against members of our people, the tightening of the blockade, the continued expansion of the colonialist settlement, and the imposition of collective punishments constitute a severe escalation that demands immediate intervention of all of the international institutions…
The forces eulogized the Martyrs (Shahids) of our people who were assassinated in cold blood (i.e., terrorists killed while carrying out attacks) during the last few days, as well as the Jordanian Martyr Sa’id Al-Amru (i.e., terrorist stabber) who was assassinated in Jerusalem.”
PMW Note: The rate of terror attacks by Palestinians against Israelis increased again in mid-September 2016. As a result, the rate of Palestinian terrorists being injured or killed in response to these attacks has increased. The following are some examples:
Sept. 16
• Sa’id Al-Amru – 28-year-old Jordanian journalist who attacked Israeli border police officers with a knife in each hand, trying to stab them at the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem’s Old City on Sept. 16, 2016. The officers shot and killed Al-Amru, and found additional knives on his person as well. Jordan condemned the officers’ killing of Al-Amru and denied that he tried to carry out a terror attack. However, Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented security camera footage of the incident clearly showing Al-Amru trying to stab the officers.
• Muhammad Kayed Al-Rajabi – 15-year-old Palestinian terrorist who stabbed and wounded an Israeli soldier at the Jilbar checkpoint in Hebron on Sept. 16, 2016. In response Israeli soldiers shot and killed Al-Rajabi.
• Firas and Raghad Al-Khaddour – Palestinian terrorists, an engaged couple, who carried out a car ramming attack against 3 Israeli youth, injuring them, at the entrance to Kiryat Arba on Sept. 16, 2016. Firas was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers and Raghad was injured and transferred to an Israeli hospital. Raghad left a will stating her reason for participating in the attack was that her sister, Majd Al-Khaddour, was killed at the same junction on June 24, 2016, when she carried out a car ramming attack.
