The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced Saturday the martyrdom of liberated prisoner Samih Amarneh, who succumbed to the serious wounds that he sustained by Israeli occupation forces in the town of Ya'bad in the Jenin governorate several days ago.

Martyr Amarneh, 37, was seriously injured during violent confrontations with the IOF after they stormed Ya'bad and blew up the house of Palestinian martyr Diaa Hamarsheh - who carried out the "Bnei Brak" operation.

PIJ calls on factions to close ranks

On its part, the Islamic Jihad movement in Palestine (PIJ) mourned martyr Amarneh, stressing that confrontation against the Israeli occupation will continue.

In a statement, the PIJ affirmed that the war with "Israel" will not end with the martyrdom of Palestinian fighters who maintained the flame of resistance and chased Israeli occupation soldiers in their nightmares.

The movement called on Palestinians and factions to close ranks and work with full force to strengthen the spirit of resistance in order to confront the Israeli occupation and settlers who attack Palestinian land, people, and holy sites.
