Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, reported on Saturday evening that one of its fighters died of wounds sustained on Saturday morning during an Israeli occupation forces invasion of Jenin, in the northern part of the West Bank.

The fighter was identified as Mustafa Mahmoud Ateeq, 22.

A senior source at the Brigades stated that Ateeq was shot and injured by the under-cover forces of the Israeli occupation army after these forces opened fire at a vehicle transporting several fighters in Jenin.

Leader of the Brigades, Ala’ Abu Sa’id was killed during the attack, and Ateeq was injured by two rounds of live ammunition, one in his face and one is his shoulder. He was moved to Jenin governmental hospital then to another Arab hospital within Israel where he died of his wounds.

The Brigades vowed retaliation and stated that Ateeq was targeted for assassination by the army since last year.
