Palestinian security force kills Islamic Jihad gunman in rare internal clash

[IsraelTimes] PA says patrol in West Bank city of Tulkarm came under fire, shot back; armed group Nour Shams Camp Brigades denounces slaying of Ahmed Abu al-Foul as Israeli-style ’assassination’

Paleostinian security officers killed a gunman in the West Bank on Thursday, a rare intra-Paleostinian clash whose circumstances were disputed and that the fighter’s faction described as an Israeli-style "liquidation."

Paleostinian Authority security services spokesperson Talak Dweikat said a force sent to patrol Tulkarm overnight came under fire and shot back, hitting the gunman. He died of his wounds in a hospital.

Videos circulated online, and which Rooters was not immediately able to confirm, showed a car being hit by gunfire.

A local gang, the Tulkarm and Nour Shams Camp Brigades, claimed the dead man, Ahmed Abu al-Foul, as its member with affiliation to the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah

Al-Foul was "treacherously... targeted in his car" without provocation, the brigades said in a statement. "This crime is just like any liquidation by Israeli special forces."

in the Gazoo
Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation.
Strip

Hamas, an Islamic Jihad ally that rules the Gaza Strip and has chafed at Abbas’s strategy of seeking diplomatic accommodation with Israel, denounced "the attacks by the PA’s security forces on our people and our resistance fighters."

Paleostinian security forces and button men have exchanged gunfire several times in the last year, but deaths are rare.

Hamas seized control of Gaza from the PA in a bloody 2007 coup. The terror group and the PA, which is dominated by Abbas’s Fatah party, have remained at odds ever since.
