Official PA TV Sports News, on a chess tournament named after terrorist Khalil Al-Wazir “Abu Jihad,” who was responsible for the murder of 125 Israelis
Official PA TV reporter: “With the participation of 72 male and female players from the Northern Districts (i.e., the West Bank), the Palestinian Chess Federation – in cooperation with the Al-Yamun Sports Club – concluded the Palestine Individual Play [Chess] Tournament, a tournament named after Khalil Al-Wazir Abu Jihad (i.e., terrorist responsible for murder of 125).”
Palestinian Chess Federation Secretary Khaled Izz Al-Din: “The tournament bears the name of Martyr Khalil Al-Wazir on the anniversary of his death as a Martyr on April 16. The tournament praises the Palestinian prisoner, as on April 17 the Palestinian Prisoner’s Tournament [took place]. And this game, the game of chess, is connected to the Palestinian prisoners, as it is the only game that they are allowed to play in the Israeli occupation’s prisons.”
Reporter: “The [PA] National Security Forces camp [Horsh Al-Saada] in Jenin hosted the tournament for three consecutive days. The competitors were there and each [one] of them hoped that his name would be among the ten top names.”
