Jenin – Zionist occupation forces assassinated this morning Mahmoud Kamil (32 years), commander of Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad in the Jenin district. According to eyewitnesses Kamil gave himself up but was murdered in cold blood.
He was shot dead by occupation troops who raided a house where he was hiding in the village of Raba, close to the town of Jenin.
Kamil, who is originally from the village of Qabatya, was detained in the past by Zionist occupation and by Palestinian security forces but was able to escape from a Palestinian authority prison in Jericho about a year ago.
The body of the martyr was taken to Dr. Khlil Sulaiman’s Hospital in Jenin from which he will be taken for burial after the Friday prayers.

By Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondent, and Haaretz Service
Israel Defense Forces troops shot and killed a wanted Islamic Jihad man during an arrest raid in the West Bank before dawn Friday.
The troops surrounded the house where Mahmoud Hamed Kamil, 27, was staying, in the village of Raba southwest of Jenin, and instructed him to come out.
They shot Kamil, who was armed with a pistol, when he tried to escape, the IDF said.
"Soldiers called out for occupants of a house which they suspected contained wanted men to come out," an IDF spokeswoman said. "The man was shot after he was spotted carrying a weapon as he tried to escape."
Security forces said Kamil has been involved in suicide bombings and shooting attacks, Israel Radio reported.
Also in the West Bank, security forces arrested eight Palestinian suspects overnight.
Navy nabs Palestinians on surfboard
Israel Navy soldiers arrested two Palestinians paddling on a surfboard toward a forbidden offshore zone opposite the Gaza Strip settlement area of Gush Katif on Friday morning.
The IDF said the two were arrested after they had already entered the forbidden zone and were making a second attempt to enter the area.
Security sources said it is possible the two men were testing the alert level and preparedness of naval and ground forces in the area.
Earlier in the Gaza Strip, Palestinians fired mortar shells at two settlements, one in the north of the Strip and one in the south, Israel Radio reported Friday. There were no casualties.
