Fatah hails Jerusalem bus bombing
Fatah responds to yesterday’s Jerusalem bus bombing by lauding the attack.
“The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades bless the self-sacrificing operation in Jerusalem. For our Jerusalem and our Al-Aqsa Mosque, the good news of victory keeps arriving today, in a display we have not seen in a long time – a bus bombing operation in the occupied city of Jerusalem, in which dozens of Zionists were injured,” the party’s armed wing says in a statement translated by Palestine Media Watch.
The group said on its Facebook page that the attack was “a natural response to the occupation’s crimes,” calling such terror attacks “the best option of response” to Israel.
