Posted text: “Martyr [Abu Jihad] (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 125) worked diligently on developing the fighting capabilities of the revolutionary forces. He directed the operations (i.e., terror attacks) against the Zionist enemy from within the territory of Lebanon…

He directed the military operations inside the occupied homeland (i.e., Israel), and personally oversaw the planning and execution of the most prominent excellent and special operations, which inflicted heavy losses on the occupying enemy…

In the early morning hours of April 16, 1988, the Palestinian revolution in the homeland and in the entire world was struck when leader Abu Jihad was assassinated… The [UN] Security Council condemned the filthy assassination operation committed by the Zionists, the murderers of the prophets…

The military operations that Abu Jihad planned:

• The Zohar Reservoir (i.e., near Beit Hanoun in Gaza) bombing in 1955.
• The water pipelines (Eilabun tunnel) bombing in 1965 (i.e., attempted bombing of the Israeli National Water Carrier).
• The Savoy Hotel operation in Tel Aviv in 1975 in which 10 Zionists (sic., 11) were killed.
• The truck bomb explosion in Jerusalem in 1975.
• The killing of senior sapper Albert Levy and his assistant in Nablus in 1976.
• The operation of Dalal Mughrabi (i.e., terrorist who led murder of 37, 12 of them children), in which more than 37 Zionists were killed in 1978.
• The shelling of Eilat Port in 1979 (apparently refers to thwarted bombing in 1978; see note below –Ed.).
• The shelling of the northern settlements with Katyusha [rockets] in 1981.
• The capture of 8 Zionist soldiers in Lebanon and their exchange for 5,000 Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners and 100 prisoners of the lands occupied in 1982.
• The infiltration of the Zionist military government headquarters in Tyre [Lebanon] and its bombing, which led to the death of 76 officers and soldiers, including 12 senior officers, in 1982.
• Directing the 1982-1984 war of attrition in southern Lebanon (i.e., First Lebanon War).
• The Dimona Reactor operation in 1988 (i.e., the Mothers’ Bus attack, 3 murdered; see note below), which was the main reason for his assassination.”
