Fatah calls killing of 3 terrorists who were carrying out a terror attack a "war crime," terrorists were killed "in cold blood"

Headline: “Fatah: The execution of three young people in Jerusalem is a war crime”
     “The Fatah Movement called on the entire world and its international institutions to condemn the war crime that the Israeli occupation forces committed on Friday [June 16, 2017] in Jerusalem, a short time before the meal to break the [Ramadan] fast, against three young Palestinians (i.e., terrorists, carried out stabbing and shooting attacks, murdering 1 Israeli policewoman).
Fatah said in a press statement given by its spokesman Osama Al-Qawasmi: ‘The silence of the international community in light of the continuation of the occupation and its crimes, which have not stopped for even one moment, encourages Israel to permit [the spilling of] Palestinian blood. The despicable crime that was committed today in cold blood and claimed the lives of three Palestinians is nothing but proof of that.’
Fatah prayed for mercy for the Martyrs’ (Shahids’) souls, and emphasized that the loyalty to the Martyrs’ blood will be realized by holding on to the land and the holy sites, defending them, and adhering to our people’s inalienable rights.”

Bara Saleh, Adel Ankoush, Osama Ata – three Palestinian terrorists who carried out a terror attack in Jerusalem on June 16, 2017. Two of the terrorists, one armed with an automatic weapon and the other with a knife, attacked Israeli police officers north of the Old City of Jerusalem. Seconds later a third terrorist stabbed and murdered Israeli border policewoman Hadas Malka, 23, at the Old City’s Damascus Gate as she and other officers were responding to the first attack. All three terrorists were shot and killed by the Israeli officers. Aside from Malka, four Israelis were wounded in the attack. ISIS initially claimed responsibility for the attack but Hamas rejected the claim, saying the terrorists were members of Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
