As of November 30, the Palestinian new wave of terrorism included 90 stabbings, 33 shootings and 14 car rammings in addition to firing rockets (from Gaza), detonating explosive charges, and many hundreds incidents of stone throwing and firebombings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The article reads: \u201cOne of the \u201cKnive Heroes\u201d is 22 year old Baha Aliyan (\u0628\u0647\u0627\u0621 \u0639\u0644\u064a\u0627\u0646), who has become a phenomenon, an icon and moreover a role model for an entire generation. The youths called him \u2018the magnificent\u2019 (\u0627\u0644\u0628\u0647\u0627\u0621) for being educated, wise and a leader in volunteering, social and scouts activities while at the same time he carried out a heroic operation killing 6 Israeli soldiers and settlers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">On October 13, 2015, Baha Aliyan, an operative of Fatah movement, joined by his friend, Bilal Abu Ghanem, an operative of Hamas, boarded on an Israeli bus in Jerusalem armed with a knife (Baha Aliyan) and a handgun (Bilal Abu Ghanem) and started killing the passengers. 3 were murdered and 16 injured. Baha Aliyan was killed by an Israeli Police force and Bilal Abu Ghanem was injured and arrested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">In his interrogation by the Israeli Police, Bilal Abu Ghanem provided details about the preparations to the attack and the attack itself:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201c[Baha] told me that he has 20,000 NIS [$7,100] and that he wants to purchase a handgun. I asked him: \u2018Why do you you want to buy a handgun?\u2019 and he said that he wants to carry out an attack against the Jews\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cThat morning, Baha came over and saw that I have a knife at the store. He said that it may be useful for the attack and took it with him. We went to the store where Baha was employed and the first thing he showed me when I arrived at the place was the black-coloured handgun. I held the handgun and starred at it. He taught me how to unlock the safety catch. I put it on my waist and we went out [to Jerualem]. Baha took the knife and put it under his pants\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cBaha looked at me and nodded his head signalling to start [the attack]. I pulled out the handgun, cocked it, went towards the people who were sitting at the back of the bus and started shooting at them. I saw an elder man, an elder woman and more people \u2013 I shot at them and saw them injured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cThen I ran out of bullets. I waited for a Policeman to come an kill me. Baha came to me and took the handgun. The Police came and Baha started threatening with the handgun the Policemen who were standing outside of the bus. The Policemen started shooting at us. I was hit and fell on the floor. I don\u2019t know what happened next.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Read more:<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong> <a style=\"color: #000080; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/en.cijnews.com\/?p=16617\" target=\"_blank\">Toronto Arab paper&#8230;<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"height: 15px; background: #d0e6fa; width: 710px;\" \/>\n<div id=\"content\" class=\" content-alignment&lt;br \/&gt;&lt;br \/&gt; \">\n<div id=\"watch-description\" class=\"yt-uix-button-panel\">\n<div id=\"watch-description-text\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\"> twoje uwagi, linki, wlasne artykuly, lub wiadomosci przeslij do: <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #808080; text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"mailto:webmaster@reunion68.com\">webmaster@reunion68.com<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 710px;\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto Arab paper reposts an article calling Palestinian stabbers \u201cheroes\u201d Jonathan D.
