"You were everything to me," says son of Palestinian executed by Israeli forces in Jerusalem
Occupied Jerusalem (QNN)- Israeli occupation forces earlier on Sunday shot dead a Palestinian freedom fighter, identified as Fadi Abu Shukhedem, for carrying out a shooting operation against Israeli soldiers amid ongoing Israeli attacks against Palestinians.
42-year-old Sheikh Fadi Abu Shukhedem is from Shu'fat neighborhood in the occupied city of Jerusalem.
He is a husband, father of five: two girls and three boys. He holds a master's degree in Islamic law and works as a teacher at Al-Rashidiya School in Jerusalem.
He was preparing for the PhD as his family said.
Sheikh Shukhedem was imprisoned before by Israeli occupation authorities.
Although he is their breadwinner and backbone, his family felt the victory which their father achieved by defeating the occupation, as his operation was in response to Israel's continuous attacks against Palestinians, especially in Jerusalem.
"You were everything to me. You lived like a lion, and died like a lion," wrote his son, Abood, on his Facebook account.
Following the incident, the occupation forces raided the house of Sheikh Shukhedem in Shuafat neighborhood, searched and turned it upside-down before interrogating members of the house and arresting Shukhedem's daughter, brother and his son's brother.

The European Union quickly agreed to expand sanctions on Iran over measures it took following the US-Israeli war, but failed to reach consensus on suspending its trade agreement with Israel despite growing pressure from several member states and human rights groups.
Over 1,100 musicians and cultural figures, including Kneecap, Massive Attack, and Paloma Faith, have called for a boycott of Eurovision 2026, demanding Israel be excluded over its ongoing genocide in Gaza and condemning the European Broadcasting Union of double standards.
Under Israeli military protection, settlers demolished a Palestinian school and nearby homes in the northern Jordan Valley, intensifying displacement pressure on Bedouin communities in the occupied West Bank.
