19-year-old Nabulsi, one of the most wanted resistance fighters by the Israeli occupation forces in Nablus and the head of Fatah’s armed wing, al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, was shot and seriously injured during exchanges of fire with Israeli soldiers in the heart of Nablus’ old city, on Tuesday morning.
He was later pronounced dead in Rafidia Hospital, along with Sabouh, 32, and Taha, 16.
Al-Nabulsi was inside a house where the fighters were barricading themselves in and which was cordoned off and blown up by the Israeli forces who fired an anti-tank missile toward it, killing him and Sabouh.
At least 40 more Palestinians were also wounded during confrontations with Israeli soldiers in the same raid. Taha was injured and killed during the furious confrontations.
Cities in the occupied West Bank, including Nablus, Hebron, Tulkarm, Jenin, Qalqilya, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Salfit, and Tubas, observed a commercial strike in protest of the killings in Nablus yesterday.
