PA official: Savoy attack terrorists have no living relatives but the "Palestinian people" is their family
PA TV program "Palestine This Morning"
Laila Ghannam, Ramallah district governor:
"There was a visit to the graves of the Martyrs (Shahids) at the Al-Amari refugee camp, in the village of Tunia, as well as in the new cemetery of Ramallah – [graves of] Martyrs whose bodies were handed over a short time ago, the 'Martyrs of the numbers' (i.e., those who had been buried in numbered graves in Israeli military cemeteries) and Martyrs of the Savoy Operation (i.e., terror attack) – whose bodies we, of course, received and buried because they have no first-degree relatives. But of course, all Palestinian people are family to these Martyrs."
Note: In March 1975, eight terrorists traveled by boat from Lebanon to a Tel Aviv beach. They took over the Savoy Hotel and took guests as hostages. The next morning, Israeli forces attacked and killed seven of the terrorists. Eight hostages and three soldiers were killed by the terrorists during the attack.
