— أركان الجزء الثالث (@am9628576) November 15, 2018Hamas and other Gaza-based Palestinian terrorist groups ridiculed the Hebron police commander, and said the photographs were humiliating for all Palestinians.Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzouk commented on the pictures saying that the PA police commander has become a tire repairman for Israel.
Palestinian sources told The Jerusalem Post that Abu al-Rub was on a tour near Hebron together with senior Fatah official Kamal Makhamareh. The two had been asked to accompany a delegation of senior PA officials, the sources said.On their way back, the delegation, which was driving in a convoy of 40 vehicles, stopped because an IDF vehicle was parked in the middle of the road, the sources added. They said that Abu al-Rub and Makhamreh got out of their car to check with the IDF soldiers why their vehicle was blocking traffic.“The soldiers explained that the vehicle had a mechanical problem,” the sources said. “At one stage, Abu al-Rub knelt down to check the problem with the [IDF] vehicle. He did not fix the tire of the vehicle. He only wanted to help so that the convoy of the Palestinian officials would be able to pass.”Several Palestinians in Hebron on Thursday appealed to PA President Mahmoud Abbas to rescind the decision to suspend Abu al-Rub.عضو المكتب السياسي لحركة #حماس موسى أبو مرزوق : مدير شرطة الخليل العقيد أحمد أبو الرب وأمين سر حركة #فتح كمال مخامرة تحولوا إلى "بنشرجية" عند الاحتلال.#كمين_العجل #البنشرجي pic.twitter.com/75Ly2klY14
