PA TV repeats libel: Israel “executed” terrorist stabbers “under the pretext” that they “carried out a stabbing operation”

Official PA TV newsreader: “The occupation executes three residents (i.e., terrorists who carried out stabbing and car ramming attack) of occupied Jerusalem and Hebron, and the [PA] presidential office calls for urgent international involvement.” […]
Official PA TV reporter: “Occupation soldiers shot at a Palestinian car near the settlement of Kiryat Arba, which is located on the [Hebron] district’s land, under the pretext of a car ramming operation being carried out. This led to the Martyrdom-death (Istish’had) of young Firas Muhammad Al-Khaddour and the wounding of his sister (sic., fiancée)… In another incident, young Muhammad Kayed Al-Rajabi (i.e., terrorist stabber, wounded 1) became a Martyr (Shahid) when he was shot by occupation soldiers, which led to his Martyrdom-death in the Tel Rumeida region in the center of Hebron, under the pretext that he carried out a stabbing operation.”
Official PA TV newsreader: “Occupation soldiers this afternoon executed the 28-year-old Sa’id Al-Amru, who holds Jordanian citizenship, in the area of the Damascus Gate [in Jerusalem] under the pretext that he tried to carry out a stabbing operationion… Official [PA] Palestinian Government Spokesman Yusuf Al-Mahmoud… said that the executions of three citizens by the occupation forces in Hebron and Jerusalem, among them a Jordanian citizen, over the last several hours emphasizes that Israel is continuing the chain of vile crimes that it is carrying out and that are considered war crimes, crimes against humanity, and in violation of international law.”

PMW Note: The rate of terror attacks by Palestinians against Israelis increased again in mid-September 2016. As a result, the rate of Palestinian terrorists being injured or killed in response to these attacks has increased. The following are some examples:

Sept. 16

• Sa’id Al-Amru – 28-year-old Jordanian journalist who attacked Israeli border police officers with a knife in each hand, trying to stab them at the Damascus Gate of Jerusalem’s Old City on Sept. 16, 2016. The officers shot and killed Al-Amru, and found additional knives on his person as well. Jordan condemned the officers’ killing of Al-Amru and denied that he tried to carry out a terror attack. However, Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs presented security camera footage of the incident clearly showing Al-Amru trying to stab the officers.

• Muhammad Kayed Al-Rajabi – 15-year-old Palestinian terrorist who stabbed and wounded an Israeli soldier at the Jilbar checkpoint in Hebron on Sept. 16, 2016. In response Israeli soldiers shot and killed Al-Rajabi.

• Firas and Raghad Al-Khaddour – Palestinian terrorists, an engaged couple, who carried out a car ramming attack against 3 Israeli youth, injuring them, at the entrance to Kiryat Arba on Sept. 16, 2016. Firas was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers and Raghad was injured and transferred to an Israeli hospital. Raghad left a will stating her reason for participating in the attack was that her sister, Majd Al-Khaddour, was killed at the same junction on June 24, 2016, when she carried out a car ramming attack.
