Posted text: “The anniversary of the death of Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades (i.e., Fatah's military wing) commander Marwan Zalum, April 22, 2002…
After the outbreak of the blessed Al-Aqsa Intifada (i.e., PA terror campaign 2000-2005), Marwan Zalum established military cells in Hebron (the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades) [parentheses in source] and was the commander of these brigades. Marwan Zalum was responsible for many shooting operations against outposts and self-sacrificing operations (i.e., suicide bombings) that the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades carried out, the most prominent of which was the operation of Martyrdom-seeker Andalib Takatka (i.e., suicide bomber, murdered 6)…
On April 22, 2002, at approximately 11:40 p.m., an Israeli Apache helicopter fired three rockets at a civilian vehicle in the heart of Hebron… in which Martyr Marwan Zalum and his comrade Samir Abu Rajab – who were wanted by the occupation for a long time – were riding. The rockets struck the vehicle directly and tore the bodies of the two Martyrs into hundreds of pieces…
Heroic Martyr Marwan Kayed Zalum was a fighter who fought a holy war for Allah…
He knew that the end of every Jihad fighter and fighter is Martyrdom-death (Shahada), which he hoped for…
Marwan Zalum – you set Palestine before your eyes, placed your soul in your palm, and merited Martyrdom-death.”

Arafat died of an illness in 2004.
