In a statement, the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, mourned the death early this morning of “three of its heroes in the brave West Bank”.

The text identified the deceased as Saeb Abahra (30 years old), Khalil Tawalbeh (24 years old) and Seif Abu Libda (25 years old).

As we mourn our brothers we pledge to continue the legitimate duty to resist the Zionist enemy, and confront it, as an authentic expression of the will of the Palestinian people who do not accept surrender nor defeat, it stressed.

The martyrs are examples of the defense of our land, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas),which controls the Gaza Strip, said in another statement.

These deaths will not give legitimacy to the enemy, but the opposite because it will increase the strength, determination and cohesion of our people, it expressed. For its part, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine held the Tel Aviv government responsible for “the consequences of these assassinations”.
