If the Palestinian Authority regards Islamic Jihad terrorists killed in a gun battle as innocent victims, what chance is there for peace?

From the official Palestinian Wafa news agency:

Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh condemned the assassination of the three young men, Saeb Abhara, Khalil Tawalbeh, and Saif Abu Libda, at dawn today, Saturday, the first of the holy month of Ramadan, in Jenin.

Shtayyeh described that crime and the previous killings that were committed outside the law as horrific crimes, the perpetrators of which must be held accountable before the International Criminal Court .

Times of Israel describes the incident this way:

Three members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group were killed and four Israeli troops injured during an arrest operation in the West Bank in the pre-dawn hours of Saturday morning.

The gunfight broke out when terror suspects opened fire on an Israeli team from the Border Police’s elite Yamam counter-terror unit that attempted to arrest them.

The suspects appeared to have been on their way to carrying out an attack, Israeli authorities said.

“Information was received of a terror squad on its way to commit an attack,” police said, adding that the group was also involved in recent terror activities against Israeli security forces.

The suspects had been under Shin Bet surveillance for several hours ahead of the shootout, and Israeli troops found firearms and grenades in their vehicle.

Who's telling the truth?

Well, here's Islamic Jihad's "martyr poster" for the three:

 

Islamic Jihad doesn't deny that they were terrorists, or that they were on the way to an attack. In fact, the head of Islamic Jihad bragged that the three managed to injured Israeli soldiers, so he admits there was a gunbattle that his side most certainly lost.

So this means that the Palestinian Authority chooses the side of the terrorists over Israel.

Which tells you everything you need to know about the "moderate" PA.
