Hamas, PFLP-GC praise Old City terrorist, while the PA says "Israel murdered a child."

A terrorist attack took place in Jerusalem's Old City on Monday evening, Israel Police reported.

Police reported a shooting incident at the Lion's Gate in the Old City between an armed terrorist and police officers who were on the scene.

The suspect, reportedly a 17-year-old Palestinian from Qabatiya in the northern West Bank, was armed with a Carlo-type submachine gun according to police, and shot at a police post before being neutralized by Border Police officers.

Whenever these sorts of things happen, Palestinian media does one of two things: either they frame the terrorist as the victim, or they praise him as a brave fighter and martyr.

Within hours, Palestinian media did both.

The official Wafa news agency reported the story this way: "A boy was shot dead by the Israeli occupation police, Monday evening, near Bab Hatta, one of the doors leading to the Al-Aqsa Mosque."

Even though there is video of the terrorist with his submachine gun.

But terror groups are cheering.

The PFLP-GC said, 

....that the commando operation in the occupied city of Jerusalem proves the continuation of the Palestinian youth uprising and is increasing its flame, flare up and quality day after day, and attempts to abort it or conspire against it "will not succeed."

The PFLP blessed the heroic Jerusalem operation to the Palestinian people, considering that it came within the framework of responding to the crimes of the occupation and the settlers ’assault against our people and our holy sites in Jerusalem and the occupied homeland.

The PFLP stressed that the blood of the martyrs and martyrs who died in defense of Palestine will remain a beacon that will light the way for us; Until the return and liberation of all Palestinian soil from the filth of the occupiers.

Hamas said,

Today, martyrdom weddings are held in homes for the sake of Al-Aqsa and in defense of it."...the blood of martyrdom at Bab Hatta is a message to extremists and settlers who storm Al-Aqsa and try to perform their Talmudic rituals. ... The Bab Hatta operation is a message to everyone who chose normalization, bypassing the rights of our people and our nation in the Al-Aqsa Mosque. "

Maybe one day Palestinians can end their obsession with martyrdom and death.
