Israeli occupation forces assassinated Palestinian Fathi Khazem, known as Abu Ra
Quds News reports that Israeli forces assassinated Palestinian Fathi Khazem, known as Abu Raad, by opening fire on him inside his home in Jenin early this morning in front of his family. The report claims that Israeli forces prevented an ambulance from reaching him, leaving him to bleed to death, and then seized his body.
Why it matters
Khazem was a retired colonel in the Palestinian National Security Forces and the father of two martyrs killed by Israeli forces in 2022, which may indicate a pattern of Israeli operations targeting individuals with ties to Palestinian security forces or militant families.
What's unclear
- What was the specific reason or intelligence behind the assassination?
- Did the Israeli military provide any official statement about the incident?
- What is the current status of Khazem's body?
