The commander of the Tulkarm Brigade in the Al-Quds Brigades, Mohammad Jaber, known by his nom de guerre, Abu Shujaa, was killed following hours of confrontations with the occupation forces in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the West Bank of occupied Palestine.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, Abu Shujaa was killed alongside four of his companions after Israeli occupation forces surrounded the building they were in.

The Israeli occupation forces launched a large-scale aggression against the camp on Wednesday evening, as part of the intensive aggression against the West Bank, the largest since 2002.

Deploying dozens of military vehicles and bulldozers, the Israeli occupation commenced extensive demolition operations in the streets and infrastructure of the camp.

Abu Shujaa, the martyr of Palestine, the fighter of the Tulkarem Brigades, who rose as a martyr today, fighting for his people until his last moment, did this interview two weeks ago with Al-Mayadeen. @BIG__Brother7 on X created this English subtitled version of his interview… pic.twitter.com/C2XHZEXpFc

According to Israeli media, the occupation forces besieged several Resistance fighters at 4 am, including Abu Shujaa, inside a building in Nur Shams.

Confrontations broke out, during which the occupation forces fired an Energia rocket at the building, however, confrontations continued.

By the end of the armed confrontation, Abu Shujaa and four others with him were martyred.

Who was Abu Shujaa?

Abu Shujaa had previously stated in an exclusive interview with Al Mayadeen earlier this month. "If the enemy assassinates me, we will continue. The struggle does not end with one person, there are generations that rise to defend our rights, and the biggest indicator is the martyrdom of a Palestinian and more in each home in Tulkarm, and the Resistance continues."

Regarding the multiple pursuits by the Israeli occupation forces, Abu Shujaa confirmed that the enemy failed to assassinate him three or four times, despite specific operations targeting him.

The commander mentioned that during one attempt to kill him, "Israel" invaded Tulkarem for 55 continuous hours, asserting that "Israel" and its occupation army are "weaker than a spider's web, given their substantial losses."

However, he added, "the enemy has always been like this and never acknowledges it."

West Bank wide-scale aggression continues

As of now, at least 14 martyrs have been reported due to the aggression against the West Bank. Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in the West Bank reported that a young man was martyred and another was injured by the Israeli occupation forces' gunfire in the Tulkarm camp, raising the total number of martyrs in the Israeli aggression against the West Bank to 14, including those from Tubas, Tulkarm, and Jenin.

Our correspondent also reported that the Israeli occupying forces arrested Bayram Qasas on the outskirts of Tulkarm camp before withdrawing from the camp's vicinity and the city, except for the Nur Shams camp.

Additionally, the occupying forces withdrew from the Al-Far'a camp in Tubas after arresting several Palestinians and brought in more reinforcements to Jenin, closing the city’s entrances.
