Last week, the Palestinian Authority (PA)’s ruling party, Fatah, celebrated the 60th anniversary of its founding as a terrorist organization.

Fatah’s first act of terror was to attempt to blow up Israel’s National Water Carrier on January 1, 1965. Today, Fatah’s leaders brag that it remains the leader of Palestinian terror, citing as proof that it has more members imprisoned than any other Palestinian faction:

Abd al-Fatah Doleh, spokesman for Fatah Commission of Mobilization and Organization: “Fatah is the conscience of the Palestinian people…  It has paid a heavy price with Martyrs that include the movement’s leaders and founders, such as Arafat, Abu Jihad (i.e., responsible for murder of 125), Abu Iyad, and both Kamals [Kamal Nasser and Kamal Adwan], and an entire series of marvelous Martyrs as well as the heroic prisoners in the occupation’s prisons… The number of Fatah prisoners has always been more than half of the prisoners’ movement. All other factions together make up less than half.”

Fatah has bragged about having more prisoners and even more Martyrs than the other Palestinian terrorist organizations for years.

Fatah is the ruling party of the Palestinian Authority, which many in the West would like to see take responsibility for Gaza. The Fatah leaders that Doleh mentions and venerates—Arafat, Abu Jihad, Abu Iyad, and “both Kamals”—were all terrorists, responsible for the murder of many Israelis. The Fatah of 2025 also still takes pride in having “stepped on the heads” of Jews on October 7, 2023.

Although countries such as the United States may have been hoping to see the Palestinian Authority “revitalized,” there is certainly nothing new or revitalized about the PA’s ruling party. Besides glorifying its murderous history, Fatah also overtly places its denial of Israel’s right to exist directly on its logos posted on Facebook.

This image celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Intilaqa, or launch, of Fatah presents all of Israel together with the PA areas on a map of “Palestine” encircled by a large key representing the Palestinian refugees’ “right of return”:

This is and has always been the essence of Fatah – enamored with the murder of Israelis and the hateful desire to wipe Israel off the map.

A member of Lebanese armed group Hezbollah was killed in an Israeli air strike on Tehran alongside a member of an Iran-aligned Iraqi armed group, a senior Lebanese security source told Reuters and the Iraqi group said on Saturday.

The source identified the Hezbollah member as Abu Ali Khalil, who had served as a bodyguard for Hezbollah’s slain chief Hassan Nasrallah. The source said Khalil had been on a religious pilgrimage to Iraq when he met up with a member of the Kataeb Sayyed Al-Shuhada group.

They traveled together to Tehran and were both killed in an Israeli strike there, along with Khalil’s son, the senior security source said. Hezbollah has not joined in Iran’s air strikes against Israel from Lebanon.

Kataeb Sayyed Al-Shuhada published a statement confirming that both the head of its security unit and Khalil had been killed in an Israeli strike.

Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli aerial attack on Beirut’s southern suburbs in September.

Israel and Iran have been trading strikes for nine consecutive days since Israel launched attacks on Iran, saying Tehran was on the verge of developing nuclear weapons. Iran has said it does not seek nuclear weapons.
