Alwaght- Israeli regime forces killed early on Tuesday Palestinian resistance fighter Ahmad Naser Jarrar, who carried out Nablus operation last month.
Jarrar reportedly was the head of a resistance cell responsible for the operation which killed Zionist Rabbi Raziel Shevah in Nablus last month.
Jarrar have been on the run by israeli forces since the operation took place on January 9.
After days of besiege of several towns in Jenin that saw several other Palestinians killed or arrested, Israeli forces killed Jarrar.
Israeli regime's media reported that around 3am the regime terror agency “Shin Bet” received information that Jarrar was hiding in a complex of buildings in the village of Yamoun, 9 kilometers west of Jenin, in the West Bank.
Sources say he came out of one building armed with an M-16 assault rifle and a bag full of explosives ready to confront Israeli forces and was killed on the spot.
Meanwhile, Jenin mayor confirmed that Jararr was killed in an early raid to Yamoun.
Palestinian sources said clashes erupted shortly after Jarrar was announced dead, with occupation forces using tear gas bombs against Palestinians.
Meanwhile, The Islamic Jihad resistance movement said in a statement that Jarrar “represented the real method of resistance which Palestinians live and that Jarrar’s victory would only be accomplished by uprooting the occupation and expelling it.”
The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, presented its condolences following the "martyrdom" of Jarrar describing him as the “leader of the al-Qassam cell that carried out the heroic Nablus attack weeks ago.”
Hamas also said in a statement that it praised Jarrar who “confused the security of the occupation.”
Hamas called upon resistance fighters in the West Bank to “respond to the Israeli crime of assassinating the resisting hero Ahmad Nasr Jarrar.”
Jarrar, who was in his mid-20s, was the 10th Palestinian to have been killed by Israeli forces this year. He was the son of Nasser Jarrar, also a Hamas fighter, who was killed by Israeli regime in 2002 during the Second Intifada.
