PA daily glorifies terrorist Abu Jihad’s many terror attacks on anniversary of his death

Headline: "Abu Jihad – a set path for Palestine's direction"
"He [Khalil Al-Wazir 'Abu Jihad'] (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 125) died as a Martyr (Shahid) while still writing his words directed at the popular intifada (i.e., the first Intifada, Palestinian wave of violence and terror against Israel, approximately 200 Israelis murdered, 1987-1993) and Palestine, after writing the last three and a half lines of his life: 'The blessing of the flaring struggle, the blessing of ongoing giving and unceasing sacrifice to our fighting brothers in the intifada's leadership, to all of the national action committees within the popular committees in the refugee camps, cities, villages, and neighborhoods, to the committees that fulfill their roles under these conditions-'
Nobody knows what the next sentence is (i.e., because it is assumed he was assassinated while writing this), but 'Abu Jihad' wrote it with his blood: 'The Martyrs illuminate the darkness of this long path to the occupied land.'
Abu Jihad's life, from his birth on Oct. 10, 1935 in Ramle and until the moment of his death as a Martyr in the early morning on April 16, 1988, in Tunisia… is summed up in one sentence: 'He was uprooted [during the Nakba (i.e., “the catastrophe,” the Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel)], lived as a revolutionary, and died as a Martyr on the path of return to liberated Palestine.' …
Among the military operations (i.e., terror attacks) that Abu Jihad planned were the operation to blow up the Zohar reservoir (i.e., near Beit Hanoun in Gaza) in 1955; the operation to blow up the Israeli National Water Carrier pipelines (Eilabun tunnel) [parentheses in source] in 1965; the operation at the Savoy Hotel in Tel Aviv and the killing of 10 Israelis (sic., 11) in 1975; the operation to blow up a truck bomb in Jerusalem (15 murdered –Ed.) in 1975; the operation to kill senior sapper Albert Levy and his assistant (sic., only Levy was murdered in the attack), in Nablus in 1976; the Dalal Mughrabi operation, in which more than 37 Israelis were killed, in 1978; the bombing of the Eilat Port in 1979 (sic., 1978, apparently refers to foiled ship bombing); [and] the bombing of the northern settlements [in Israel] with katyusha missiles in 1981(from 1978 to 1981 the PLO fired missiles at northern Israel from Lebanon –Ed.) Israel also held the Martyr responsible for the capture of 8 Israeli soldiers in Lebanon, and their exchange for 5,000 Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners (sic., 4,700 terrorists held in Lebanon were released), and for planning the infiltration of the headquarters of the Israeli military governor in Tyre and its bombing in 1982, which led to the deaths of 76 officers and soldiers, including 12 senior officers (i.e., explosion in which 91 were killed, unclear whether a car bomb or gas leak caused the blast). [In addition, the occupation held him responsible] for waging the war of attrition in 1982-1984 in southern Lebanon (i.e., First Lebanon War); and for the Dimona Reactor operation in 1988 (i.e., Mothers’ Bus attack, 3 murdered)…
[Abu Jihad's son] Bassem said: 'He always prepared us for the day of his death as a Martyr, and we expected them to assassinate him at any given moment. On the day of his death as a Martyr, while I and my sister Iman were studying in the US, my uncle called me and said on the phone 'Congratulations.' I asked him for what, and he answered: 'Congratulations, your father has died as a Martyr.' We were stunned. We planned to travel to Tunisia, and I and my sister were off for the airport. There we met our brother Jihad who was also studying in the US. We left for Italy and discovered that the airport was not functioning due to strikes. News of what had happened spread, and [Greek Catholic] Archbishop Capucci (i.e., smuggled weapons to Palestinian terrorists) was on his way to Italy in a private airplane in order to participate in the funeral. This eased our travel and enabled us to reach Tunisia. I and my siblings promised each other to remain calm before our mother, but she was the strongest of us.'"
