I prefer my son “as a Martyr” rather than alive, says mother of dead terrorist

Official PA TV program Moons of Palestine, on terrorist Saleh Barghouti, who caused the death of an unborn baby in a shooting attack together with accomplices.

Mother of terrorist Saleh Barghouti: By Allah, if they would come now and tell me: "Do you want us to return Saleh to you alive or as a Martyr?," I would tell them: "As a Martyr.”

Saleh Barghouti – Palestinian terrorist who, together with his brother Asem Barghouti and other terrorists, shot and wounded 7 Israelis - a pregnant woman, her husband, another man, and 4 teenagers - in a drive-by shooting attack next to Ofra, north of Jerusalem, on Dec. 9, 2018. The pregnant woman was severely wounded and doctors had to deliver her baby prematurely before operating on her. The baby, Amiad Yisrael Ish-Ran, died three days later. Saleh Barghouti was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers during an attempt to apprehend him, during which other terrorists from the attack were taken into custody.
