PA calls three terrorists “Martyrs”

Headline: "The [PA] Commission for Civil Affairs: Ongoing efforts to return the three Martyrs' bodies"
"The [PA] Commission for Civil Affairs said that it is investing ongoing efforts vis-à-vis the Israeli side to return the bodies of the three Martyrs (Shahids) [Bara Saleh, Adel Ankoush, and Osama Ata] (i.e., terrorists, murdered 1) from the village of Deir Abu Mash'al who died last Friday [June 16, 2017] in occupied Jerusalem."

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).
