PA governor responds to "Israeli media attacks" for his glorification of terrorists
“The uncle of the Martyr (Shahid) [Khaled Sanjaq], Fathi Hamad, told Al-Hayat Al-Jadida that Martyr Sanjaq, [who had been] a member of the [PA] Preventive Security Forces, had died a Martyr in a confrontation with an occupation army force on Dec. 2, 2001 near the Nitzanei Oz settlement west of Tulkarem, to avenge the Martyrdom of his comrade [which occurred] during that same period…
A large crowd of residents of the district accompanied the body of Martyr Sanjaq to his grave in [the village of] Ramin. The funeral procession set out from the Martyr Thabet Thabet Government Hospital in Tulkarem, led by Tulkarem District Governor Dr. Abdullah Kamil…
Tulkarem District Governor Dr. Kamil emphasized that the Martyrs of the Palestinian nation, whose pure bodies have been handed over [to the PA by Israel], fought for a just and inclusive peace, and are worthy of respect, honor and commemoration. [He added that] the concept known as ‘the numbered cemeteries’ (i.e., Israeli cemeteries for terrorists and enemy soldiers) has been shattered by the return of these heroes, who will be buried according to Islamic Shari’ah law and accorded official and popular recognition, being Martyrs of freedom and peace. In addition, during the funeral ceremony of the body of Martyr Sanjaq, the District Governor said that the fact that the Israeli media attacked him personally for having received the bodies of the heroes has merely increased his strength and determination.”

Khaled Sanjaq - he and another terrorist infiltrated Sha'ar Efraim, a town in central Israel, and opened fire on the Israeli security forces patrolling the area.

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.
