At a rally at the Jenin refugee camp commemorating Palestinian "martyrs", Mustafa Abu Bakr, the grandfather of the Hamas suicide bomber who carried out the 2001 Dolphinarium discotheque massacre that killed 21 Israelis, urged people to wage Jihad. He said: "You must fight the enemy wherever it may be... A fruit knife can take the place of a gun, if it is used well." On the stage with Abu Bakr stood masked members of the various Palestinian factions in combat gear. In addition, several children holding rifles were on the stage.
