Ahmad Nasr Jarrar killed by Israeli forces in West Bank
The occupation forces killed Jarrar, after a month of failed manhunt operations, during a raid at al-Yamoun that included demolishing the house which was reportedly his hideout.
Ahmad Nasr Jarrar a resident of Jenin, in the Northern West Bank, killed radical Rabbi Raziel Shevach who was responsible for many of Palestinians dignities in Jenin last month, is reported killed by Israeli forces in the town of al-Yamoun, West of Jenin, on Tuesday.
For Israeli military the manhunt was one of its most challenging operation, which took almost more than a month long, failing attempts to find and eliminate Jarrar.
As reported by WAFA, the occupation forces managed to eliminate Jarrar, during a raid at al-Yamoun that included demolishing the house which was reportedly his hideout.
Palestinians reported seeing the army removing a body from the demolished house, but were not able to confirm if it was for Jarrar.
A relative of Jarrar confirmed finding his cloths and a will in the building Jarrar was reportedly killed in after the army had left the area.
The nationalist forces in Jenin announced over loudspeakers in the city the death of Jarrar and called on people to participate in a protest march from a Jenin mosque to Wad Burqin, where the Jarrar family lives.
Israeli reports said the army bragged about being able to kill Jarrar after running weeks of wide-scale manhunt for him in the North of the West Bank.
At one point, the army killed on January 18 another member of the Jarrar family with the same name as Ahmad believing it was him. The army also demolished three homes belonging to the extended Jarrar family in Wad Burqin during that operation to capture Jarrar.
The army also killed Ahmad Abu Obeid, a Jenin resident, two days ago following one of the operations to capture Jarrar.
Head of the Palestinian civil coordinating office in Jenin, Khalil Tanneh, told WAFA that a shoot-out occurred after the Israeli army surrounded a house in al-Yamoun on Tuesday.
He said the army demolished a wall, sections of a shed and uprooted olive trees in their pursuit of Jarrar.
Reports added that the residents of al-Yamoun clashed with the Israeli forces that raided their town early Tuesday
