“The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) praised the heroic operation (i.e., stabbing attack, 2 people wounded) that was carried out this evening [Nov. 17, 2021] in occupied Jerusalem, in which three settlers were wounded, one of them seriously (sic., terrorist Omar Ibrahim Abu Asab wounded 2 Israeli border police officers, neither of them seriously, before they shot and killed him in defense).
