A Ramallah resident, 19 years old, was brutally murdered by members of Arafat's Fatah terrorist organization on Saturday after it was alleged that he had provided intelligence information to the Israeli security services.
The victim, Hassan Abu Safiyeh, was abducted by masked Fatah terrorists, and was then taken to a downtown street and shot several times in the head. His body was left on the street, as is traditional in murders of this nature, and shortly afterwards, the Fatah organization contacted journalists and took responsibility for the murder.
Shurat HaDin - Israel Law Center - declared its condemnation of the brutal murder. The organization, headed by Attorney Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, noted that in recent months, Palestinian terrorist groups have carried out increasing numbers of attacks on so-called "collaborators." On July 2, Fatah terrorists murdered, execution-style, Muhammad Rafiq Abdel Razek, a resident of the Jenin area, before a cheering crowd. Just four weeks ago, a PA policeman threw a hand grenade into the jail cell of an accused Israeli agent in Gaza, injuring seven suspected Israeli agents. In April, Fatah terrorists in Gaza City displayed and accused two captives, a father and son, of having assisted Israel in the targeted killing of Hamas leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi; the fate of the two is not known. In February, PA taxi driver Tahseen Abu Arkub, 50, was killed, and a month earlier, the same fate met a 27-year-old resident of Shechem (Nablus).
Shurat HaDin reports that since the signing of the Oslo Agreements in 1993, several hundred suspected Israeli agents have been murdered by Palestinian terrorist groups. To date, the PA has never conducted an investigation into the killings and has arrested no suspects.
"The blatant public execution of Hasan Abu Safiyeh in Ramallah by Fatah terrorists," Darshan-Leitner said, "shows the atmosphere of lawlessness and murder Arafat has created in his own backyard. The wanton killing of suspected agents and savage revenge shootings are a small preview of the violence and crime that will be unleashed in any future Palestinian state. The so-called 'human rights groups' continue to turn a blind-eye to these terrorist killings."
