GAZA (PIC)– Official spokesman of Fatah faction Ahmed Abdul Rahman has absolutely condemned the Eilat explosion where four Israeli settlers were killed and seven others wounded Monday morning.
In a press statement he made in the wake of the deadly explosion Abdul Rahman explained that his faction “condemns all armed operation against civilians”.
However Abdul Rahman’s “untimely” condemnation hasn’t satisfied the Palestinian people as local observes in the Palestinian arena considered it as “stab in the back of the Palestinian resistance” and “clear betrayal” to blood of thousands of Palestinians killed with Israeli missiles and projectiles.
The Quds Brigades armed wing of the Islamic Jihad and the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades armed wing of Fatah claimed responsibility for the attack adding that the operation was complicated and took seven months in planning for it.
According to the two armed wings Palestinian citizen Mohammed Al-Seksek 21 from Gaza Strip carried out the armed operation and that he passed to Eilat through Jordan. But Jordan denied that Seksek crossed its territories.
For his part Hamas MP Musheer Al-Masri described Fatah condemnation to the Eilat explosion as “serious” deterioration in its liberation ideology.
But he explained that the participation of an offshoot of the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades affirms that there was still a trend in Fatah which believes in resistance as the only means for liberating Palestine and retrieving Palestinian legal rights.
Hamas Movement considered the attack as a natural response to Israeli atrocities.
Over the past five years the IOF troops killed almost 5000 Palestinian civilians wounded tens of thousands others (many critically) and arrested thousands of Palestinians (including mothers children and elderly people) who are still languishing in Israeli jails under harsh conditions.
Thousands of Palestinian homes were totally or partially demolished by IOF bulldozers and vast areas of Palestinian agricultural lands were confiscated at the hands of the occupation to expand Israeli settlements in the West Bank over the same period.
