The official spokesman for the Palestinian security forces, Brigadier General Anwar Rajab, has confirmed the death of a commander during the continuing military operation of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the Jenin camp in the occupied West Bank.
Major Hussein Ahmed Hassan Nassar, from the Palestinian presidential guard, was killed today after “being shot by gangs of outlaws while performing his duty”, he was quoted as saying by the official Wafa news agency.
The Palestinian National Liberation Movement, Fatah, which controls the PA, also mourned the major in a statement.
It said security forces will “continue their natural and national role in confronting the gangs of outlaws who seek, at the behest of regional parties, to fuel international conflicts in parallel context with the [Israeli] occupation’s plans for annexation and deportation”.
Last week, another member of the presidential guard was killed during the PA operation, which was launched on December 14 and has also killed a commander of the Jenin Brigade of armed factions, among others.
