A video that shows youngsters at a summer camp run by Fatah in the West Bank practicing military drills and learning military tactics was uploaded to the Odai Algool Almgwar channel on YouTube on Monday.

According to the video and translation provided by MEMRI, the participants were dressed in combat vests, battle-dress uniforms and yellow Fatah headbands while practicing urban combat with what appear to be rifles.

The video also shows youths jumping and going through obstacles with fire and smoke.

The ruling Fatah Party of Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas frequently holds events inciting violence against Israelis.

For example, in December last year, Fatah marked its 57th anniversary with two days of mass rallies glorifying the armed struggle against Israel.

“Jews make up a small fraction of San Francisco’s population, yet anti-Jewish bias accounted for nearly half of all hate crimes reported so far this year,” Marc Levine, of the ADL, told JNS.
The nations agreed on a coordination mechanism for citizen services following Jerusalem’s prolonged humanitarian assistance deployment to the country.
The diplomatic move joins a host of bilateral measures to immediately strengthen relations between Jerusalem and Bogotá.
The meeting “focused on strategies to strengthen Jewish safety and belonging, maintain candid lines of communication and collaborate on issues where we have shared values and goals,” Phylisa Wisdom, executive director of the Mayor’s office to Combat Antisemitism, told JNS.
