JENIN, (PIC)--

Special units of the IOF troops have succeeded in assassinating commander of the Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad, Ala Abul Rub in Kabatia town at dawn Thursday after Abbas's security forces disappeared from the village.

Local sources confirmed to the PIC that big numbers of IOF troops infiltrated into the village, south of Jenin city, and surrounded house of Abul Rub, 23, after he refused to surrender.

Fierce clashes between the Palestinian fighter and the invading IOF troops took place at the house of Abul Rub that led to his martyrdom after IOF troops peppered his body with bullets, the sources added.

Body of the Palestinian martyr was seized by the IOF troops that wreaked havoc in the house and humiliated family of the martyr before turning over the body to the Palestinian Red Crescent and retreated from the area amidst intensive machinegun fire.

According to local eyewitnesses in the village, PA security forces under Mahmoud Abbas were deployed in the village's streets but suddenly disappeared from the area as the IOF troops rolled into the village.

The PA security apparatuses in the West Bank pledged full security coordination with the Israeli security departments against the Palestinian resistance fighters.

Hundreds of the town's residents rushed to Khalil Suleiman hospital in Jenin to bid the martyr farewell.

Meanwhile, the IOF soldiers rounded up 8 Palestinian young men, mostly in their teens, from the village of Til, west of Nablus city, at dawn Thursday, local sources reported.

They added that the soldiers burst into the village in a pre-dawn incursion and blasted their way into a number of citizens'' homes and searched them thoroughly before kidnapping the youths.

Jihad, Hamas: assassinating Abul Rub fruit of PA-Israeli security coordination

RAMALLAH, (PIC)--

The Quds Brigades, the armed wig of Islamic Jihad Movement, on Thursday charged that the assassination of its commander in Jenin Ala Abul Rub at the hands of Israeli occupation forces was the fruit of security coordination between the PA in Ramallah and the Israeli occupation authority.

The armed wing said in a statement that Abul Rub was also being chased by the PA security apparatuses in the West Bank, and added that his assassination was the fruit of this "damned security coordination".

It held the PA security apparatuses responsible for Abul Rub's assassination, adding that tens of resistance fighters in the West Bank were being persecuted by the PA security in line with that security coordination, which is rejected by all Palestinian forces.

The Quds Brigades vowed strong reprisal to the murder of Abul Rub, pointing to the seriousness of concluding calm with the IOF not including the West Bank.

For its part, Hamas said that the assassination was due to the collusion of PA security apparatuses with the IOF in the West Bank to liquidate resistance and confiscate its weapons.

Hamas spokesman in Gaza Fawzi Barhoum told the PIC that the murder of Abul Rub fell in line with the Israeli election propaganda campaign.

He said that the assassination was also a result of the Arab weakness and absence of any Arab pressure cards on the IOA to halt its crimes.

Barhoum held the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for the crime and its consequences.
