On the anniversary of the death of terrorist Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi — a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades (Fatah’s military wing) who was responsible for a series of shooting attacks — Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement published a video showing a ceremony from a military training course named after the terrorist, held by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, Palestine.

The stage backdrop of the ceremony had a huge picture of terrorist Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi and posters of former Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Yasser Arafat and arch-terrorist Khalil Al-Wazir “Abu Jihad,” who was responsible for the murder of 125. The logos of both Fatah and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades appeared on the ceremony poster.

During the video, a small child is seen saluting the picture of terrorist Al-Nabulsi:

A narrator praises terrorist Al-Nabulsi as a “model of heroism” and as having left behind “an eternal revolutionary school, whose students are self-sacrificing fighters who believe in Allah.” For these Fatah soldiers, allegiance to the rifle is “sacred”:

Narrator: “The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades — Palestine make sure to commemorate the memory of their men in their unique military way, so that they will remain as models of heroism in the memory of the generations.

Martyr Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi left us while leaving behind for us an eternal revolutionary school, whose students are self-sacrificing fighters who believe in Allah, and who love the homeland.

On the anniversary of Martyr fighter Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi’s ascent [to Heaven], our brigades prepared an army bearing his name, and it swore that adherence to the rifle is sacred — out of loyalty to his last will … May Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi remain a legend of glory and honor in the history of the [Palestinian] cause.” [emphasis added]

An audio recording was also played at the ceremony of terrorist Al-Nabulsi’s mother congratulating the participants:

Audio recording of terrorist Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi’s mother: “O members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, this is a great [source of] pride that your military course bears the name of Martyr fighter Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi. This is a great [source of] pride that the Martyrs are your permanent headline … Blessings to your fighting hands, which are working diligently for the sake of Allah … From your sister and mother, the mother of Martyr Jihad fighter Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi.”

Fatah’s military training course, named after terrorist Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi, was apparently held in late December 2022. Fatah’s Bethlehem Branch posted the video from the course ceremony on Aug. 9, 2023, for the one-year anniversary of terrorist Al-Nabulsi’s death.

Palestinian Media Watch has exposed numerous times that the PA and Fatah routinely glorify and praise terrorists.

Another recent Fatah “hero” and “legend” was terrorist shooter Samih Abu Al-Wafa, who ambushed Israeli soldiers. The below video posted by Fatah shows pictures of terrorist Samih Abu Al-Wafa, including one of him leaning out of a window while another man holds his waist and aiming an assault rifle to shoot at Israeli soldiers. A song glorifying him as “hero” and “legend” is played in the background:

Lyrics: “The people asks: Who is that, the masked man in the picture?

That is our hero Samih Abu Al-Wafa, the legend.

He appeared with his weapon from the window, with his masked face.

How beautiful are the bullets of the confrontation, when Samih advanced.

Our brigade has men, they make our land shake”

Posted text: “Our wish is that if a Martyr goes out from us, the people will say ‘Allahu Akbar’ and follow his footsteps.

The lion of the ambushes, Martyr commander Samih Abu Al-Wafa.

May Allah receive him — one of the heroes of the heroic Al-Ansar Mosque ambush.

– The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades” [emphasis added]
