Posted text: “A picture of Martyr (Shahida) Dalal Mughrabi and Martyr Yahya Skaf in 1978: Fighters who dreamed of freedom and established a state for several hours (i.e., a reference to the bus they hijacked). Compared to them, the fighters of today dream of establishing a committee for managing the Gaza Strip, so as to disconnect it from the homeland (i.e., criticism of Hamas, alleging it seeks a state only in Gaza)!”

Dalal Mughrabi led the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history, known as the Coastal Road massacre, in 1978, when she and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus on Israel's Coastal Highway, killing 37 civilians, 12 of them children, and wounding over 70.

Yahya Skaf – terrorist from Lebanon who participated in the most lethal attack in Israel’s history, the hijacking of a bus led by Dalal Mughrabi in 1978 in which 37 civilians were killed, 12 of them children. Israel maintains Skaf was killed during the attack and that his remains were transferred to Lebanon in the exchange deal with Hezbollah in July 2008, but the Lebanese authorities claim he is still imprisoned in Israel.
