Headline: “The Palestinian Liberation Front welcomed the Tel Aviv operation”

“Today, Friday [April 8, 2022], the Palestinian Liberation Front (PLF, a member of the PLO -Ed.) said that it welcomes the operation that was carried out yesterday, Thursday, in the depths of Tel Aviv (refers to terrorist Ra’ad Hazem murdering 3; see note below -Ed.).

In a statement, a copy of which reached [the independent Palestinian news agency] Donia Al-Watan, the PLF said: ‘We in the PLF welcome the heroic quality self-sacrificing operation in the depths of so-called Tel Aviv yesterday evening, Thursday, April 7, 2022, which was carried out by heroic Martyr Ra’ad Fathi Hazem, 29, from the Jenin refugee camp, which led to the deaths and wounding of a number of settlers.We consider it a natural response to the ongoing and escalating crimes of the occupation and its settlers against our unarmed Palestinian people.’”

Ra'ad Hazem - 28-year-old Palestinian terrorist and PA Security Forces member who shot and murdered 3 Israeli civilians - 27-year-olds Tomer Morad and Eytam Magini and 35-year-old Barak Lufan - and wounded 14 others when he opened fire on a crowded bar on Dizengoff Street in central Tel Aviv on April 7, 2022. Hazem escaped the scene of the attack and was found hiding near a mosque in Jaffa by Israeli security forces several hours later. He opened fire on them and was killed in the ensuing shootout.
