Jabr Ammar, a prominent Palestinian national figure, was martyred

He was one of the prominent Palestinian leaders and national figures who was martyred due to the severity of his injuries after his house was bombed last Thursday. His house was targeted near the Ammar bin Yasser Mosque in the Al-Zuhour neighborhood in northern Rafah, during which several members of Jabr's family were martyred and injured.

The Nasser Salahuddin Brigades, the military branch of the Palestinian Popular Resistance Committees, while condoling the martyrdom of this Palestinian militant and national figure, emphasized that he was also martyred for the liberation of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Who was Jabr Ammar?

Jabr was a prominent Palestinian fighter who spent 14 years in Israeli prisons and was released in 1983 in a prisoner exchange deal.

This Palestinian national figure was born in 1944 in the village of Beit Daris. His father, Ali Abdullah Ammar, was martyred in the 1948 invasion by Zionist criminal gangs.

Jabr completed his university education in the Arab Republic of Egypt at the Faculty of Commerce.

He was a fighter of the Palestine Liberation Army and the Palestine Liberation Forces, which were founded by the late Ahmed Al-Shuqiri, and was a veteran fighter against the Israeli occupiers and had fought many battles with the Zionist army.

In 1969, he was arrested by the Israeli occupying forces and sentenced first to death and then to life imprisonment.

In captivity, Ammar established the first Islamic Movement organization inside Israeli prisons and continued to fight with revolutionary enthusiasm against the prison guards and lead the Palestinian prisoners during his captivity.

After his release, he was exiled to Lebanon, then moved to Algeria and Tunisia, and finally settled in Sudan. However, after bloody conflicts in Sudan, he finally returned to Gaza after 30 years of exile, shortly before the start of Operation Storm of Al-Aqsa, and was warmly welcomed by the people and the Palestinian resistance.

Jabr Ammar in the arms of Yahya Sinwar

The video of Yahya Sinwar, the head of the Office of the Hamas movement, warmly welcoming him and Jabr Ammar's words about the necessity of fighting the Zionists, is being reposted on social media once again today.

At the beginning of the video, he says: "I do not fight them because they are Jews... they are murderous, criminal Zionists."
