Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party Claims To Have ‘Killed 11,000 Israelis' [View all]

http://www.newsweek.com/mahmoud-abbas-fatah-claims-killed-11000-israelis-ahead-elections-hamas-487525?rx=us

The political party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas bragged about its killing of Israelis on Tuesday, in a bid to whip up support from voters ahead of October’s local and municipal elections throughout the Palestinian territories.

In a Facebook post, Abbas’s Fatah faction made the provocative claim that it had “killed 11,000 Israelis.” It does not note the timescale for the deaths and the figure could not be independently verified.
