Hundreds of Palestinians rioted along the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel, in a “protest” organized by the Hamas terrorist group. Widely-shared footage shows a Palestinian shooting an Israeli border police officer in the head at point-blank range.
Sources in Gaza have reported that the gunman is a lieutenant in Hamas’ forces.
The riots were orchestrated under the pretext of marking the 52nd anniversary of an arson attack on Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa Mosque by Australian Denis Michael Rohan. The Christian extremist was deemed insane by an Israeli court and admitted to a psychiatric institution. Despite this well-documented fact, Hamas continues to use the 1969 incident to incite violence against the Jewish state.
A week before the latest riots, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem already warned of an “explosion at any time.” Meanwhile, media outlets turned a blind eye to threats that have now materialized.
