“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.

They also raided the school where Sheikh Shukhedem was working and arrested a Palestinian youth after searching him.
