"Al-Quds" reveals details of Israeli undercover operation in the Jenin camp

The new operation of the special Israeli undercover (Musta'ribin) units in the Jenin camp, on Tuesday evening, failed to reach the resistance fighter Muhammad Hussein Mustafa Zidan "undercover Al-Baha", whom they accuse of leading the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, despite the surprise attack they launched on his home and family located at the main entrance on the outskirts of the Jenin camp. It took revenge on his family by destroying his house, arresting his elderly father, and threatening to assassinate him if he did not surrender himself, but it was forced to release him from the Jalama checkpoint after he suffered a sudden heart attack.


Under the cover of darkness, the special units chose their date and, as eyewitnesses told Al-Quds.com, infiltrated the entrance to the main camp using three Palestinian vehicles, and stopped a few meters away from the house of the sixty-year-old citizen Hussein Mustafa Ahmed Zidan, claiming that his son, the freed prisoner Muhammad “Abu al-Baha” (35 years old), at the top of the Israeli intelligence wanted list.


When the undercover units were infiltrating the family's home, they were discovered by the residents and the resistance, which sounded sirens and came to confront them, amid violent armed clashes.


During this time, the undercover began attacking Abu al-Baha's house to quickly complete their operation, before the family became aware of what was happening around them, including the siege of their house and the attempt to assassinate their son.


His mother reported to Al-Quds.com that she was surprised by the explosion of the main gate of her house, and the heavily armed undercover soldiers, accompanied by a police dog, stormed in. Within seconds, they turned the house into a military barracks and began searching amid an atmosphere of terror and alert.


She says: "They detained us, and when they did not find Abu Al-Baha, their anger increased, and they became more ferocious and brutal. They destroyed and vandalized everything, threw bombs into the rooms, and released the police dog to search."


She added: "We lived through horrific moments. They threatened to liquidate my son. They destroyed the children's rooms. They sent us a letter threatening to liquidate and execute my son if he did not surrender himself. They arrested my husband despite his illness. They handcuffed him and took him with them for investigation."


Meanwhile, the resistance closed all the alleys and streets of the camp, which turned into a real battlefield with the undercover. Witnesses confirm that the resistance besieged the undercover and they were unable to leave Abu al-Baha’s house and the surrounding area, in light of the ferocity of the resistance, which showered them with bullets and locally manufactured bombs.


Within minutes, the scene changed, and the entire area turned into an arena of violent clashes, so the occupation sent in large military reinforcements.


According to witnesses, more than 80 military patrols raided the city and the outskirts of the camp, and soldiers and snipers occupied buildings and buildings overlooking the Al-Aqwas area at the entrance to the camp and the Al-Zahraa neighborhood in the city. As the clashes intensified, the occupation launched a “Maoz” suicide plane and detonated it in the main square, causing It led to the injury of a number of citizens and the explosion of the main electricity transformer, plunging the camp into complete darkness.


The drones that flew at a low altitude, and dozens of soldiers and snipers who were deployed in the area, were unable to control the situation, as they were subjected to heavy fire, and the military wings of the resistance participated in attacking the soldiers from every nook and corner in clashes that did not stop, while dozens of explosive devices were detonated. Explosive explosives were deployed against occupation patrols, and the occupation admitted that two patrols were directly hit.


Despite the extensive raids and search campaigns under the cover of gunfire in the vicinity of Abu Al-Baha’s house, the occupation spokesman admitted the failure of the operation and the inability of the special units to reach Abu Al-Baha. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades stated in a military communiqué issued during the operation that its leader, Abu Al-Baha, survived the ambush and the assassination attempt. He returned to the positions of its fighters who fought with fighters from other military wings until the last patrol withdrew from Jenin and the camp.


Eyewitnesses told the Al-Quds.com correspondent that they witnessed a real battle between the occupation and the fighters, who attacked the patrols from very close distances, which led to a number of martyrs and a high number of injuries among citizens. During the withdrawal of the patrols from the camp, residents observed resistance groups pursuing them. With canisters and bullets like never before.


Witnesses confirm that the first victim of the Israeli aggression on the camp was the child Raafat Khamaysa (15 years old), who was shot by undercover soldiers at the entrance to the camp, when he discovered them and began screaming and warning of their presence, so they hit him directly.


His uncle, Nizar Khamaysa, told Al-Quds.com: “When Raafat left his grandfather’s house at the entrance to the camp, he saw the undercover besieging Abu Al-Baha’s house, so he ran screaming, and the undercover unit chased him and fired bullets directly at him.”


He added: "Raafat fell to the ground covered in blood. He was hit with a bullet in the middle of the abdomen and exited from his chest. The ambulance crews were unable to reach him, because the occupation closed the area and prevented them from moving. He remained bleeding in his grandfather's house for an hour and a half, and after the occupation withdrew and transferred him." To the hospital, he was declared martyred.”


During the funeral of the bodies of the four martyrs of the aggression, Mahmoud Al-Saadi, Mahmoud Ararawi, Raafat Khamaysa and Atta Musa, the resistance fighter Abu Al-Baha went out with dozens of resistance fighters to participate in the march. He told reporters: “A few moments separated me from the Israeli attack, as they surrounded my house shortly after I left.” When they raided it and did not find me, they destroyed and broke its contents. Not even my children’s rooms and belongings were spared, and they threatened my family to liquidate me if I did not surrender myself.”


Abu Al-Baha, who took up his weapon and was surrounded by a large number of resistance fighters, said: “My response to the occupation’s threats: We are fighting for the freedom of Palestine, our people, and our prisoners, and I will not back down or give myself up. We are determined to follow this path and the path of the martyrs, and we are satisfied with what the Lord of the Worlds chooses for us.” .


He added: "I am not better or better than our martyred heroes who sacrificed for us. My brother was martyred and handed over the banner to me, and my children will continue the journey. We will all one day meet the Lord of the Worlds, so let us meet Him as martyrs."


Abu Al-Baha said: “The battle that Jenin camp witnessed on the evening of the attempt to assassinate or arrest me, and the unity of the unified resistance factions and what it achieved was a victory for the camp. The occupation was defeated in the face of the resistance and the heroism of the resistance. Thanks go to God first, to the martyrs second, and to the lions of the camp who did their duty greatly.”


He added: "The occupation's threats of new operations and massacres in the camp and our assassination will not weaken our resolve. We will remain on the path of the martyrs. The more the aggression intensifies, the more determined we will be to complete the journey. Our choice is martyrdom or the liberation of Jerusalem, and our choice is resistance until the liberation of Palestine and the prisoners."


Regarding the occupation’s continued targeting of the leadership of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and the Resistance, Abu Al-Baha said: “All of us in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Al-Qassam Brigades, the Jenin Brigades and Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades. There is nothing that divides us. We fight not under one slogan, but rather one blood. We have resolve and determination to stand firm and challenge the occupation, and we affirm that we You will not leave this path, and these threats will not distance us from the path of resistance and the path to Jerusalem, God willing.”
