From POTB, Israellycool: More Palestinian Reactions To Kidnapping: The Most Disturbing Of All (Updated)
Fatah-linked terrorists claim abduction of three teenagers
Group says boys are being held safely, will only be returned for thousands of prisoners
A Palestinian terror group aligned with the Fatah movement claimed responsibility Monday for the kidnapping of three Israeli teenagers, saying the boys were safe and that it would prove this soon.
A statement posted online ostensibly by the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the Thursday abduction of Eyal Yifrach, 19, Naftali Frenkel, 16, and Gil-ad Shaar, 16, south of Jerusalem.
However, doubts were raised as to the veracity of the claim.
The message claimed the group was holding the three, but not in the city of Hebron, and they would only be released in a swap deal.
“We won’t release the three children, except in return for thousands of prisoners,” the statement read, according to a translation posted online by the Israeli 0404 news outlet.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had blamed Hamas for the kidnapping, saying their involvement was a fact. The Hamas terror group, considered more hard-line than Fatah, had praised the abduction but denied involvement.
