Fatah: “Executing Palestinians at checkpoints is simply the literal carrying out of the orders” of the Israeli government
Headline: “Calls for unity against the escalation of the executions and settlement by the occupation”
“The Fatah Movement called to our people to unify and unite against the worsening Israeli aggression, the massacres and crimes against our young people particularly in Hebron and Jerusalem, and emphasized that what the occupation state is committing is organized state terror whose goal is to blow up the situation, an Israeli attempt to force a security solution instead of a political solution, and a response to the international efforts to end the occupation and implement international law.
[Fatah] Movement Spokesman Osama Al-Qawasmi yesterday [Sept. 19, 2016] in a press statement… emphasized that the fact that Israel is executing Palestinians at checkpoints is simply the literal carrying out of the orders of the politicians and rulers of Tel Aviv…
Secretary-General of the Palestinian Liberation Front and PLO Executive Committee member Dr. Wasel Abu Yusuf emphasized that the summary executions that are being carried out by the occupation soldiers in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem will not break the desire of our people to defend its land and support Jerusalem.
Abu Yusuf described the executions as desperate attempts to suppress the popular resistance, and he emphasized that these attempts to murder the young Palestinian men and women in cold blood reveal the Israeli racism and fascism and their goal to break the strength of the resistance. Likewise, he said that these executions constitute a strong incentive for those rising up among our people to continue in the path of the struggle and to deter the terrorist settlers.”
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:

• Muhammad Abd Al-Fattah Sarahin – a wanted Palestinian terrorist who was killed while resisting arrest on Sept. 15, 2016. Israeli special forces arrived at Sarahin’s home in Beit Ula northwest of Hebron to arrest him, and when he tried to escape the forces shot and killed him. PMW has been unable to verify the nature of his crimes.

• 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.
