Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s Daoud Shehab said: “Acts of resistance are a legitimate right of the Palestinian people, and we bless and support this jihadist act.”

“This jihadist act.” Yet analysts of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will continue to ignore the theology of Islamic jihad and the key role it plays in the conflict.

“Terror in Jerusalem: 2 injured in stabbing attack at Central Bus Station,” by Tzvi Joffre, Jerusalem Post, September 13, 2021:

Two Israeli men were moderately injured in a stabbing attack at a store next to the Jerusalem Central Bus Station in Jerusalem on Monday. Two female Border Police patrol officers at the scene shot and wounded the terrorist.

The attacker was identified as 17-year-old Basil Shawamra from the village of Deir al-Asal al-Fauqa near Hebron in the southern West Bank. Two additional suspects were detained….

The attacker underwent surgery at Shaare Zedek after resuscitation attempts.

Gantz wished the victims a speedy recovery and praised the Border Police officer who shot the terrorist, as well as the IDF soldiers who thwarted a terrorist attack earlier in the day at the Gush Etzion junction.

Magen David Adom paramedic Shlomi Pinchas described the scene in the capital’s thoroughfare, saying: “We arrived at the scene and there was a big commotion. The two wounded were lying conscious and suffering from stab wounds. We provided them with advanced medical care in the field that included bandages, stopping the bleeding and medication, and quickly evacuated them to the hospital as they were in moderate condition.”…

Hamas praised the stabbing attack on Monday, saying: “The escalation of stabbings in occupied Jerusalem, the shootings, the increasing confrontations of popular anger in the West Bank and the demonstrations in Gaza, come within the framework of the freedom intifada launched by our Palestinian people in solidarity with the heroic prisoners and confronting the brutality of the occupation against them.

“Sustaining the clash with the Zionist occupation and escalating the pace of operations with various means and tools is the best option to confront the Zionist occupation and force it to stop its crimes against our people and our prisoners in the occupation prisons,” the terrorist group said.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad spokesman Daoud Shehab also responded to the terrorist attack on Monday afternoon, saying: “The commando operations in Jerusalem and the West Bank reflect the extent of the rising popular anger as a result of the aggressive policies of the occupation against the prisoners.”

Shehab warned that Israel would “pay a price for its arrogance,” adding that, “Acts of resistance are a legitimate right of the Palestinian people, and we bless and support this jihadist act and salute all the revolutionaries in Jerusalem, the West Bank and everywhere – and we affirm that resistance is the most capable approach to deterring the occupation.”

The attack came just hours after an attempted stabbing attack at the Gush Etzion junction, in which IDF soldiers stopped a terrorist who attempted to stab them. That attacker was also taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center with gunshot wounds to his hand. No soldiers were injured in the attack….
