Just when you thought you couldn’t get any more disgusted with the Palestinian savages: Militia Sorry for Killing Arab in Jerusalem Attack.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - A leader of a Palestinian militant group behind the drive-by killing of an Israeli jogger apologized on Saturday after the dead man was identified as an Israeli-Arab university student.

“The fighters thought he was a settler jogging in an area full of settlers. It was a mistake and we extend our apology to his family,” a leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an armed group in President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah faction, told Reuters.

Palestinian gunmen opened fire and killed the man on Friday night as he jogged in Jerusalem’s French Hill district, near the city’s Hebrew University. The al-Aqsa Brigades claimed the shooting in a statement released shortly afterwards.

On Saturday, the victim was identified as George Khoury, the son of prominent Israeli-Arab lawyer Elias Khoury. The 20-year-old was an economics student at Hebrew University.

“We will consider him as a martyr like hundreds of Palestinians killed by Israeli occupation forces,” the al-Aqsa brigades leader said, adding that the group would send a letter of apology to Khoury’s family.
