Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) senior terrorist Muhammad Jaber, also known as Abu Shujaa, was killed early Friday morning during an Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) raid in Tulkarem, according to Palestinian media reports.
According to Palestinian media reports, Abu Shujaa served as the commander of Islamic Jihad’s local unit in Tulkarem.
The operation, which took place in Nur Shams refugee camp, eliminated several militants, including Abu Shujaa.
The IDF has not yet issued an official statement regarding the operation or the identity of the individuals targeted. However, Palestinian media sources confirmed IDF involvement in the attack and Abu Shujaa’s death.
Abu Shujaa’s death is likely to have a significant impact on the Palestinian Islamic Jihad organization and its activities in the Tulkarem area. As one of the group’s key commanders, his removal would deal a significant blow to the terrorist organization’s infrastructure and capabilities.
