The PFLP "praised the heroic" Tel Aviv terrorist attack in which 3 innocent people were murdered

Headline: “The Popular Front [for the Liberation of Palestine] praised the Tel Aviv operation”

“The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) praised the heroic operation that took place this evening [April 7, 2022] in central Tel Aviv (refers to terrorist Ra’ad Hazem murdering 3 people; see note below -Ed.).

The PFLP emphasized that ‘This operation is a natural response to the continued colonialist occupation and its escalating crimes against our Palestinian people,’ and emphasized that there is no place for the occupation on our land, regardless of how long it lasts.

The PFLP warned against ‘the occupation and its settlers continuing their attacks against our land and their terror against our people.’ It called on the national action factions and the members of our people to escalate the resistance in all its forms (i.e., term used by Palestinians, which also refers to the use of violence and terror) at the various sites of confrontation with the occupation, and to take as an example the Tel Aviv operation, which took place today as an unavoidable option in this confrontation.”

Ra'ad Hazem - 28-year-old Palestinian terrorist and PA Security Forces member who shot and murdered 3 Israeli civilians - 27-year-olds Tomer Morad and Eytam Magini and 35-year-old Barak Lufan - and wounded 14 others when he opened fire on a crowded bar on Dizengoff Street in central Tel Aviv on April 7, 2022. Hazem escaped the scene of the attack and was found hiding near a mosque in Jaffa by Israeli security forces several hours later. He opened fire on them and was killed in the ensuing shootout.

The terms “all means,” “all means of resistance,” “all forms,” are ‎used by PA leaders to include using all types of violence, including deadly terror ‎against Israeli civilians such as stabbings and shootings, as well as throwing rocks and Molotov Cocktails.
