A Palestinian terrorist who opened fire at Israeli soldiers and civilians on Wednesday and was killed by the Israel Defence Force (IDF) posted numerous images and quotes of left-wing icon Che Guevara on his Facebook page, among other radical images, before launching his attack. The terrorist, Mohammed Mubarak, was 20 years old and lived in a community administered by the UN Relief and Works Administration (UNRWA).

The IDF circulated photographs of Mubarak, sourced from his Facebook page, in which he appears dressed in a military coat and balaclava, holding a machine gun and wearing an ammunition belt draped across his shoulders while participating in what appears to be a parade for an extremist group. Other photos from his Facebook page include several iconic images and sayings attributed to Guevara, translated into Arabic.
