Top Palestinian Militant Killed In Israeli Raid on West Bank

Top Palestinian Militant Killed In Israeli Raid on West Bank

 

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the local head of the Palestinian militant group, the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, has been killed in an Israeli operation in the occupied West Bank.

 

Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, 26, and two other people were killed during the raid on a house in the city of Nablus.

 

EDITOR’S PICK

 

At least 40 people were injured, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.

 

The al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades is a network of militias linked to Fatah, the Palestinian movement which controls the West Bank.

 

Israel has accused Nabulsi of leading a cell which carried out a spate of attacks against Israelis in the West Bank.

 

Three of his associates were killed in a raid in February, but Nabulsi escaped, Israeli media say. He subsequently evaded efforts to apprehend him.

 

Tuesday’s raid saw Israeli troops use shoulder-launched rockets on the Nablus house in order to force Nabulsi out.

 

The exchange of gunfire at the house – and elsewhere in the city – resulted in the large number of injuries, some in a critical condition.
