Settlement activist Elisha Yered addressed today (Thursday) the IDF Spokesperson's announcement about the elimination of a senior terrorist in Tulkarm, and revealed how the IDF Spokesperson's Office is deliberately concealing the terrorist's affiliation with the Palestinian Authority from the public.
"What a surprise: The IDF spokesperson presents this time – a double silence. After the IDF eliminated the commander of Fatah's military wing in Tulkarm, Tarek Al-Doush, using a drone earlier today, there is once again no mention in the statement he issued a short while ago of his affiliation with Abbas and the PA," wrote Yared.
He further added: "But the silencing doesn't end here. Later in the statement, the IDF spokesperson describes how the terrorists who were eliminated were armed by the Makdah family from Lebanon. However, here the whitewashing is even more blatant."
The senior brother in the Makdah family is none other than Munir Makdah – the national security commander on behalf of the PA in the Ain al-Hilweh camp in Lebanon, and the one behind the game-changing weapon shipments to the West Bank in the past year. Makdah is actually one of the senior members of Abu Mazen's movement in Lebanon and is responsible for funding and arming the military wing of Fatah from the days of the Second Intifada until today.
All these things in the IDF and Shin Bet preferred to hide from the public. Feel free to guess why.
