Tue 09 August 2022:

Israeli troops killed three Palestinians, including the senior resistance fighter Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, during a raid centred on a house in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus on Tuesday.

Nabulsi, one of the Israeli army’s most-wanted men in the northern West Bank city, was shot during exchanges of fire with Israeli soldiers in the heart of Nablus’ old city.

He was later pronounced dead in Rafidia Hospital, along with Islam Sobhi and Hussain Jamal Taha, bringing the death toll of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in 2022 to 129, including at least 34 children, according to the Palestinian health ministry.

At least 40 more Palestinians were wounded during the raid.

Translation: Fighters continue to clash with the occupation soldiers and special forces who are besieging a house in the old city of Nablus.

Nabulsi was a leading member of Fatah’s armed wing, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.

Israeli forces have attacked Nabulsi several times previously, most recently on 24 July when he and a group of fighters were surrounded in a house in the al-Yasmina neighbourhood in Nablus’ old city.

He managed to get out alive after heavy fighting, while two other fighters, Muhammad Azizi, 25, and Abdul Rahman Jamal Suleiman Sobh, 28, were killed.

The first known attempt to apprehend Nablusi is believed to have happened in February, during a deadly ambush in Makhfiya neighbourhood. He was initially thought to be among the three people killed that day before he emerged alive at their funeral.

Similarly, his whereabouts after the 24 July al-Yasmina raid was only revealed when he showed up at Sobh and Azizi’s funerals, boosting his reputation in the city as an elusive fighter.
