The Israeli military has confirmed the death of Mohammed Jaber, also known as Abu Shujaa, a commander of the Islamic Jihad, in a shootout following a large-scale operation in the West Bank.
Abu Shujaa was celebrated as a hero among many Palestinians and had previously made headlines when he was thought to be dead but later appeared at a funeral, adding to his notoriety.
The ongoing violence in the West Bank has escalated significantly in recent months, especially following Hamas' October 7 attack, leading to Israeli military operations targeting militants.
The conflict stems from a historical context where the West Bank was captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, with Palestinians seeking these territories for their future state.
