Mother of Kiryat Arba terrorist: My son is a hero

The mother of the Palestinian terrorist who killed an Israeli teenage girl as she slept in her bed early this morning tells a Hebron news channel that her son was “a hero” who made her “proud.”

“My son died as a martyr defending Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the Palestinian Media Watch organization quotes the mother of Muhammad Tarayrah as saying. “Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, he [my son] has joined the martyrs before him, and he is not better than them. Allah willing, all of them will follow this path, all the youth of Palestine. Allah be praised.”

Muhammad Nasser Tarayrah, 17, from the Palestinian village of Bani Naim was the terrorist who killed 13-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel in her bedroom in Kiryat Arba on June 30, 2016. (Facebook)
