A music video clip posted to a Palestinian news agency web page on Tuesday warns “Zionists” that they can be killed at any time in a car attack and advises they “run away” before being sent to their graves.
The video was posted to the Shehab News Agency’s Facebook page the same day as five Israelis were killed in a terror attack at a Jerusalem synagogue after two Palestinians burst in during morning prayers and attacked worshipers with a gun and blades, Haaretz reports.

In the clip, an animated depiction of a bearded man wearing a yarmulke is seen trying to to escape from an attacking car, but ultimately being hit and hurled into a nearby graveyard.
An accompanying Arabic-language song to the video has lyrics that warn “Zionist, you and no other, look right, look left, be careful” and “a car bursts forth from anywhere, picking you up to your grave.”
“An angry car is speeding toward you, run for your life, you chose [this] so take responsibility, run away because you are about to die,” the song continues.
