Fatah's official Facebook page "Fatah - the Main Page" glorified suicide
bomber Zainab Abu Salem, who murdered two Israelis. One the way to her
attack, the Fatah terrorist from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades was stopped
by two Israeli policemen. She then detonated her bomb, which killed the
policemen and injured 30 others.

Palestinians have attached religious significance to the fact that although
she was decapitated by her bombing her religious headscarf remained on her
head:

"After the operation (i.e., terror attack) Martyr Zainab's head was severed
from her body, while her hijab (religious headscarf) continued to cover her
hair. With this she became the eleventh female Martyrdom-seeker (i.e.,
suicide bomber) in Palestine."

Fatah recently produced a video glorifying 9 female terrorists, among them
Abu Salem, PMW exposed. In that video Fatah showed the picture of her
severed head lying on the ground.

The following is the text of the Facebook post:

"From the memory of history:
The anniversary of the Martyrdom (Shahada) of Martyrdom-seeker (i.e.,
suicide bomber) Zainab Abu Salem of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, Fatah's
military wing, is September 22. She was an 18-year-old Palestinian girl from
the Askar refugee camp in Nablus.

The moment of her Martyrdom: The Martyrdom-seeker went to a bus station in
the French Hill neighborhood, a settlement in Jerusalem. A Zionist Border
Police soldier approached her to inspect the contents of her bag and then
she blew herself up with an bomb she had in her possession.
She killed two Zionist soldiers and wounded 16 others.
After the operation Martyr Zainab's head was severed from her body, while
her hijab (religious headscarf) continued to cover her hair. With this she
became the eleventh female Martyrdom-seeker (i.e., suicide bomber) in
Palestine. May she rest in peace."
