PA daily: The Israeli Negev region is in "southern Palestine"

"The Fatah Commission for Mobilization and Organization announced that the movement will reinter the remains of Martyrs (Shahids) Ramzi Shahin and Anis Khalil, the Martyrs of the Negev operation (Guards of Al-Asqsa and the Holy Sepulcher unit), today, after their bodies were released from the so-called 'numbered cemeteries' (i.e., Israeli cemeteries for terrorists and enemy soldiers)… Martyr Ramzi Shahin, born in 1970, and Martyr Anis Khalil, born in 1966, died as Martyrs on Nov. 11, 1991 in the Negev region in southern Palestine, after they crossed the Egyptian border in the direction of the occupied land, along with a self-sacrificing unit numbering four fighters. A battle broke out, in which the revolutionaries died as Martyrs, while the occupation authorities did not publish [the number of] its casualties.”

Note: PMW has not been able to find additional information on the terrorists.
The Cemeteries for Enemy Casualties are two burial sites maintained by the Israeli army for burying the bodies of enemy soldiers as well as terrorists. They are fenced and well-marked. Graves have markers instead of gravestones. Burial is temporary, on the assumption that the bodies will eventually be returned to their countries of origin. No ceremony is held. The bodies are buried in numbered caskets, after their identities have been documented.
