Fatah and the Palestinian National and Islamic Forces declared a general strike for Al-Tamimi

“Yesterday [Oct. 20, 2022], the occupation forces invaded the home of Martyr Uday Al-Tamimi’s (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1) grandparents in the Wadi Yasoul neighborhood of the village of Silwan (sic., a predominantly Arab neighborhood near the Old City of Jerusalem, built above ruins of ancient Jerusalem)…

The Fatah Movement in the northern branches and the [Palestinian] National and Islamic Forces declared a general strike on Thursday for the soul of the Martyr and as a sign of condemning the occupation’s crimes. Fatah called to escalate the confrontations at all the points of friction in the homeland’s districts.”

Uday Al-Tamimi - 22-year-old Palestinian terrorist who shot and murdered 18-year-old female Israeli soldier Sgt. Noa Lazar and wounded an Israeli security guard at the Shuafat checkpoint in northern Jerusalem on Oct. 8, 2022. Al-Tamimi managed to escape and later shot and wounded an Israeli security guard at the entrance to Ma’ale Adumim east of Jerusalem on Oct. 19, 2022, before other guards at the scene shot and killed him.

Palestinian National and Islamic Forces - an unaffiliated coordinating body comprised of representatives from factions in the PLO and outside the PLO. The Palestinian National and Islamic Forces were established in 2000 shortly after the start of the PA terror campaign (the second Intifada, 2000-2005), under the authorization of Yasser Arafat and the leadership of terrorist Marwan Barghouti. During the PA terror campaign it played an active role in coordinating political efforts and terror attacks against Israel, but since the end of the campaign it has been less significant and its activity is primarily centered in Gaza.
