Fatah: We are "fighting nation engaged in Ribat," and we "bear the rifles of the revolution"
“Unidentified individuals opened fire yesterday [March 28, 2014] on the vehicle of the Secretary of the Fatah branch in Jenin, Ata Abu Rmeileh. …
Fatah’s Jenin branch issued a statement in response to the attack, in which it said: ‘We will strike with an iron fist anyone tempted to wreak havoc among the ranks of our fighting nation engaged in Ribat (i.e., religious conflict/war over land claimed to be Islamic) at this politically difficult stage of our national cause.’ The statement emphasized that ‘[our] men bear the rifles of the revolution on their shoulders only to confront the oppressive occupation, and the rifles that fired on the car of [our] warrior brother, the Secretary of the branch, Ata Abu Rmeileh… are the rifles of mercenaries, rifles [of] civil war, that received their orders from the Israeli General Security Services.’”
