A faction of militants based in the Middle East has announced they are returning to terrorism.
And the Fatah movement, of Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas, did that by claiming responsibility for recent "jihad" activities.
The Palestinian Media Watch said in its report on the resumption of violence that, "Last night two Palestinian terrorists, one a member of Western funded Palestinian Security Services, shot and killed an Israeli officer, and then they themselves were shot and killed."
The report explained the "official media" from the PA, as well as Fatah, "have responded with support for the attack that killed the Israeli officer."
"The Fatah leadership announces that it has returned to the phase of the armed struggle," the report quoted the organization as saying in a statement.
"Struggle," PMW explained is Fatah's euphemism for terror.
"Further, the statement said, in a video on its Facebook page, "The Al-Aqsa-Palestine [Martyrs’] Brigades is officially announcing its operations (i.e., terror attacks)," and "The Fatah Movement takes responsibility for the operations of its military arm [the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades]."
PMW explained, "The Al-Aqsa-Martyrs’ Brigades is an internationally designated terror organization. For years the United States, Europe, and other funders of the PA have tried to differentiate between Fatah which is headed by PA leader Mahmoud Abbas and its terror branch the Brigades. Palestinian Media Watch has argued all along that this differentiation is false and artificial. Now Fatah has officially confirmed that they are one organization, and Fatah is taking credit and responsibility for its murderous terror attacks."
