Israeli researcher and former army intel officer says terrorists from the Palestinian Authority’s ruling Fatah party were filmed taking part in October 7th massacres, with some indications that the PA itself quietly backed participation in the invasion.
Terrorists linked to the Palestinian Authority’s ruling party took an active role in the massacres in southwestern Israel on October 7th, 2023, a senior researcher and former IDF intelligence officer said Tuesday, adding that there is some evidence suggesting the PA itself colluded with Hamas.
In an interview with Arutz Sheva, Lt. Col. (ret.) Jonathan D. Halevi, a senior researcher of the Middle East and radical Islam at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs and co-founder of the Orient Research Group Ltd., said that there is a growing body of evidence linking Fatah and Fatah-associated groups to October 7th.
Halevi noted that prior to October 7th, Hamas’ senior leadership had actively worked to unite all armed terrorist factions in Gaza into a single cohesive fighting force.
