'Palestinians' march with AK-47's and M-16's in Jerusalem

Terrorists from the Democratic Front for the Liberation of 'Palestine' marched in Abu Dis on Saturday brandishing AK-47 and M-16 automatic rifles. While outside the 'security fence,' Abu Dis is no more than a stone's throw away from the Mount Scopus campus of Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Dozens of Palestinians were seen brandishing AK-47 and M16 semiautomatic rifles as well as hand grenades and pistols while clad in military gear, according to Israel Radio. A number of shots were fired in the air during the festivities.

In recent months, Palestinians have increasingly been displaying firearms out in the open, particularly in the refugee camps of the West Bank, this after years in which the Palestinian Authority banned the practice.

The sight of Palestinians openly and brazenly brandishing firearms in open throughout PA-ruled areas has gradually returned to the landscape, particularly in areas like the Balata, Dheishe, and the Jalazone refugee camps, according to Israel Radio. Witnesses said that armed gunmen from Hamas and Islamic Jihad have also started to make public appearances in the Jenin refugee camp.

Unlike those areas, however, Abu Dis in in Area B, which means that security responsibility for the region falls on Israel’s shoulders.

Where was the IDF? What could go wrong?
