Abu Shujaa: Nemesis of Occupation, Martyr of Tulkarem
On his first anniversary, we remember the courage and sacrifice of the West Bank resistance commander who became a legend of steadfastness.
A Year Since His Martyrdom
It has been one year since Mohammad Samer Mahmoud Jaber, known to his people as Abu Shujaa, was martyred during a brutal Israeli raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem. His name has since become a rallying cry, a symbol of defiance in the face of occupation.
A Son of Palestine
Born into the harsh reality of refugee camp life, Abu Shujaa carried the pain of displacement and oppression from childhood. His path was shaped not by ease, but by the constant assault on his homeland and people. He embraced resistance as both duty and destiny.
Commander of the Tulkarem Brigade
Abu Shujaa rose to prominence as the leader of the Tulkarem Brigade, uniting fighters across factions in defence of their land. His strategies, discipline, and unflinching bravery made him one of the most feared opponents of the occupation forces. For the youth of Tulkarem, he was not only a commander but also a mentor and symbol of hope.
The Voice That Could Not Be Silenced
Even when rumours spread of his death, Abu Shujaa stunned the world by reappearing publicly, proving that neither bullets nor lies could break his spirit. His words—calling on future generations to continue the struggle—still echo in the streets and alleys of the camp.
Martyrdom and Legacy
On that fateful night one year ago, the occupation thought it had silenced him forever. Yet, in truth, his martyrdom only strengthened the will of his people. Today, his face adorns murals, his name is whispered in prayers, and his legacy fuels the resolve of countless Palestinians who refuse to bow to tyranny.
Eternal Flame of Resistance
Abu Shujaa’s life and sacrifice remind us that the struggle for Palestine is not bound by time. His story is written in the soil of Tulkarem, in the hearts of his people, and in the unbroken spirit of resistance.
Martyrs never die. Their light only grows brighter.
