A New Report Shows How the Palestinian Authority Is Directly Involved in Terrorism

Last Thursday, two terrorists attacked and murdered a 22-year-old Israeli named Shalev Zevuloni in the parking lot of a shopping center.
The terrorists, who were shot and killed immediately, were Palestinian Authority (PA) police officers:
Not only did the PA refuse to condemn the murder committed by members of its Western-funded PA Security Forces (PASF) — but the PA immediately gave the terrorist police officers the ultimate praise, coining them “Shahids” — Martyrs, who died for Allah.
The official PA daily wrote:
Soldiers and Israeli settlers continued to escalate their crimes … Two young men were shot by the Israeli occupation army and died as Shahids (Martyrs). [emphasis added]
[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, July 11, 2025]
On Monday, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) released our new report on the PA Security Forces’ active involvement in terror.
The report exposes that not only is this recent murder by a PASF member not an exception, but for years, the PASF has been active in terror and murder, backed by the support and praise of the leadership.
The report documents:
- The PASF spokesman praising the PASF forces specifically because they are fighting Israel, filling the Israeli prisons, and achieving Martyrdom. [pg 1]
- A PASF terrorist was released after 18 years in prison and was immediately welcomed back to his unit as a hero. [pg 2]
- The head of the PASF, Maj. Gen. Majed Faraj, gave special cash grants to the families of PASF officers in prison for terrorism. [pg 3]
- A terrorist was given a PASF military funeral adorned with a headband of Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades. [pg 4]
- A PASF spokesman was carried on the shoulders of terrorists as he cheered the name of the terror org. [pg 8]
- Israel killed a PASF officer who was “one of the central terror leaders in Judea and Samaria.” [pg 10]
- Fatah praised the PASF terrorists: “By day security Forces, and by night self-sacrificing fighters.” [pg 14]
- And many additional items documenting PASF terrorism.
In the conclusion to our report, we note that the “Palestinian Authority’s Security Forces are deeply and fundamentally involved in terror. Their terror involvement is not condemned by the PA or Fatah, rather it is glorified as an essential and heroic part of their role in the PASF.”
“With Fatah and the PA Security Forces so deeply involved in terror, the suggestion to empower them to rule Gaza after Israel has destroyed Hamas is both dangerous and inconceivable. The military force that will rule Gaza after the war cannot be fundamentally involved in terror, or the entire operation to destroy the terror infrastructure will have been in vain.”
“The Palestinian Authority and its Security Forces are essential parts of the terror problem. It is a mistake to believe they can be part of the solution.”

Iran Says Eight Arrested for Suspected Links to Israel’s Mossad Spy Agency

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said on Saturday they had arrested eight people suspected of trying to transmit the coordinates of sensitive sites and details about senior military figures to Israel’s Mossad, Iranian state media reported.
They are accused of having provided the information to the Mossad spy agency during Israel’s air war on Iran in June, when it attacked Iranian nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders as well as civilians in the worst blow to the Islamic Republic since the 1980s war with Iraq.
Iran retaliated with barrages of missiles on Israeli military sites, infrastructure and cities. The United States entered the war on June 22 with strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
A Guards statement alleged that the suspects had received specialized training from Mossad via online platforms. It said they were apprehended in northeastern Iran before carrying out their plans, and that materials for making launchers, bombs, explosives and booby traps had been seized.
State media reported earlier this month that Iranian police had arrested as many as 21,000 “suspects” during the 12-day war with Israel, though they did not say what these people had been suspected of doing.
Security forces conducted a campaign of widespread arrests and also stepped up their street presence during the brief war that ended in a US-brokered ceasefire.
Iran has executed at least eight people in recent months, including nuclear scientist Rouzbeh Vadi, hanged on August 9 for passing information to Israel about another scientist killed in Israeli airstrikes.
Human rights groups say Iran uses espionage charges and fast-tracked executions as tools for broader political repression.

i24 News – The body of Idan Shtivi, a 28-year-old murdered by Palestinian jihadists at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, was recovered in a joint operation by the IDF and Shin Bet in central Gaza, it was cleared for publication on Saturday.
Shtivi’s remains were returned to Israel alongside the body of Ilan Weiss, another hostage killed during the October 7 massacre.
“Idan Shtivi was abducted from the Tel Gama area and brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists after acting to rescue and evacuate others from the Nova music festival on October 7th, 2023. He was 28 years old at the time of his death,” read an IDF press release.
“Following an identification process conducted at the National Center for Forensic Medicine, along with the Israel Police and the Military Rabbinate, the Hostages and Missing Persons Headquarters notified his family.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Shviti “was a gifted student of sustainability and governance, and a courageous individual” who acted heroically on October 7, helping others flee.
“He was killed in the process and his body was abducted to Gaza by Hamas. My wife and I send our heartfelt condolences to the Shtivi family. So far, 207 hostages have been returned, 148 of them alive. We will continue to act tirelessly and decisively to bring back all our hostages—living and deceased.”

Woman Stabbed at Ottawa Grocery Store in Latest Antisemitic Attack

i24 News – The stabbing of a Jewish woman at an Ottawa grocery by a man with a long history of antisemitic posts on social media, the latest antisemitic hate crime in Canada, sparked outrage and prompted condemnation from officials including the prime minister.
Both the victim and the attacker are in their 70s. The woman is reportedly in serious condition.
The suspect was identified as Joseph Rooke, who has authored a series of lengthy rambling screeds on social media, ranting against Israel and Jews.
“Judaism is the world’s oldest cult,” he writes in one post, going on to say “over time jews have become insidious in governments, businesses, media conglomerates, and educational institutions in order to do what they do better than anyone else. Jews are the world’s masters of propaganda, gaslighting, demonization, demagoguery, and outright lying. Using their collective wealth they have become masters of reprisal.”
“I am under no obligation whatsoever, legal, moral, or otherwise, to like jews and I do not. If that means I meet the jewish definition of an anti-semite, so be it.”
Canada has seen a steep spike in antisemitic attacks over the past two years, including a recent incident in Montreal where a Hasidic Jew was beaten in front on his children.
After Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the incident, many, including former Israel’s ambassador the US Michael Oren, pointed out that Carney’s rhetoric and policies contribute to the increasing insecurity of Canada’s Jewish community through uncritical embrace of outrageous and easily disprovable allegations that Israel and its supporters were guilty of the worst crimes against humanity.
