IDF: Israel Kills Palestinian Commander Abu Shujaa Amid Intensifying Conflict
Muhhamad Jabber's death was confirmed by Palestinian Islamic Jihad in a statement.
On Thursday morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Palestinians both claimed that the IDF killed a prominent Palestinian battle commander.
During a counterterrorism operation, the IDF announced the death of Palestinian terrorist Muhhamad Jabber, also known as "Abu Shujaa."
""Abu Shujaa," the head of a terrorist network in Nur Shams, was eliminated during counterterrorism operations in Tulkarm after being involved in numerous terrorist attacks, according to the IDF's statement on Thursday."
In June, Amnon Muchtar was killed in a deadly shooting, and the IDF stated that Jabber was involved.
The IDF announced that Jabber and four other terrorists were "neutralized" while hiding in a mosque in Tulkarm, a city in the West Bank.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's media office, which is classified as a State Department designated foreign terrorist organization, released an obituary statement on its Telegram channel.
"The Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine declares the martyrdom of Mujahid brother Muhammad Jaber, commander of the Tulkarm Battalion of the Jerusalem Brigades, and one of its first founders, to our people and the people of our Arab and Islamic nation."
As the Israel-Hamas War approaches its one-year anniversary, Israel remains on high alert due to the threat of attacks from Iran and terrorist groups like Hezbollah in the region.
