Tulkarem Brigade Commander, Abu Shujaa, Returns Alive, Sending Palestine Into Celebration

With his rifle in his hands and carried on the shoulders of the masses, Commander Abu Shujaa is welcomed by Tulkarem at the funeral of the martyrs after he was thought to have been martyred two days ago.

In actuality, Abu Shujaa was alive and well, received by the masses and carried on their shoulders at the funeral of the martyrs of Tulkarem, after the occupation failed to assassinate him.

Abu Shujaa (Mohammed Jaber), the leader of Saraya Al-Quds – Tulkarem Brigade, was previously thought to have been martyred during the Zionists three-day-long siege of Nour Shams camp in which at least 19 martyrs ascended. The Palestinian Authority attempted to assassinate him in the weeks prior.

Below is an interview with Abu Shujaa after the occupation failed to assassinate him:

Praise be to God for your safety. What is your message to the occupation?

Our message is that we have challenged the occupation and here we are still alive. We are walking on the path of the martyrs, no matter how many of us they assassinate, this situation (the resistance) will not end, God willing. We are on the path of the martyrs, until victory.

What happened in the camp?

What happened is that they invaded the camp and the invasion lasted between 50 to 55 hours. It is true that God has chosen martyrs from us, but praise be to God, there was confrontation from our fighting brothers. There are killed and wounded from their side, but the enemy did not admit to them. We challenge the enemy’s institutions to admit what happened in Al-Iyada neighborhood, and Al-Manshiya neighborhood and other regions in the camp.

There were many attempts of defamation which fell upon the beginning of the battle. What is your message today?

My message is you will not be able to assassinate us morally as long as our Lord is with us, it is hard to get to us morally, psychologically, or anything. As long as our Lord is with us, it is hard for anyone to defeat us.

Abu Shujaa you have become a symbol for all the fighters in the West Bank, what message do you send to them?

I sent a salute and a message to all the children and all the fighters in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the diaspora, that we will not let you down God willing, we will stay at the best of your expectations. We hope from all the honorable ones to not let us down and to remain on the path of the martyrs, our martyrs.
We thank all the regions in the West Bank and its camps: Jenin camp, Balata camp, Far’a, Dheisheh, Bethlehem. We will remain at the best of their expectations God willing.

Abu Shujaa, a lot of mothers prayed for your safety and they were extremely sad when they heard about your martyrdom, what would you like to tell them?

God willing, we will remain on the path of your sons, we will march forward God willing. We are alive because of your prayers. Do not forget us in your prayers.
