“Palestinian” media continued its anti-Israel incitement this week by publicly heaping praise on the Hamas and Fatah terrorists who blew up an IDF post in southern Gaza Sunday, killing five soldiers.
“Heroic martyrs” was how Voice of Palestine radio, Gaza-based PA TV and the official PA website labeled the two young terrorist who died during the assault.
On Monday, Voice of Palestine opened its news update by glorifying “the heroic martyrdom of the youth Sabr Jullouth … and the heroic martyrdom of the youth Muayyad Ara,” wrote media analyst Michael Widlanski in a report for Independent Media Review and Analysis (IMRA).
Continuing to hail them as “martyrs,” Voice of Palestine – which is controlled by Mahmoud Abbas’s PLO – explained how Jullouth, Ara and their associates succeeded in detonating more than one ton of explosives under the IDF post, and then opened fire on the Israeli rescue forces that arrives to extract the casualties.
The news service on the official Palestinian Authority website described as “Israeli aggression” the fact that Jullouth and Ara were killed during the operation.
Abbas and the rest of the “Palestinian” leadership failed to condemn the attack.
