As one of the many ways that Fatah marked the 51st anniversary of its “Launch,” officials named four unique terrorists as female role models: Dalal Mughrabi, Ayyat Al-Akhras , Wafa Idris, and Fatima Barnawi.
According to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), each of the four female Fatah terrorists was chosen because they were unique in some way.
Dalal Mughrabi led the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history, when she and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus in 1978 and killed 37 civilians, 12 of them children.
Ayyat Al-Akhras, at 17 years old, was the youngest female suicide bomber in history. She killed 2 people in her 2002 bombing.
Wafa Idris was the first female suicide bomber who killed 1 and wounded over 100 in 2002.
Fatima Barnawi placed a bomb in a movie theater in Jerusalem in 1967 in an attempt to murder movie goers, but the bomb failed to explode. She was arrested and became the first female terrorist to be incarcerated in an Israeli prison.
Female terrorists are frequently honored by PA and Fatah officials who praise these killers as marvelous examples of Palestinian women’s liberation.
Dalal Mughrabi in particular has become a role model for Palestinian society, having schools named after her, and many young Palestinians adopt her as a hero and aspire to become like the terrorist.
On Twitter, Fatah posted a picture of Dalal Mughrabi with a rifle praising the terrorist as a “Martyr” and the “Bride of Jaffa.”
Fatah officials further emphasize the Palestinian woman’s role in the current terror wave.
In a recent tweet, Fatah claimed that it was 17-year-old Israeli Arab Theresa Halsa (who was a member of the Black September terrorist organization) who shot current Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “and injured him in the shoulder.”
In reality, Netanyahu was accidentally injured by Israeli gunfire during the rescue operation. Halsa was captured and sentenced to life imprisonment (220 years) but was released in 1983 in a prisoner exchange.
