The IDF killed Ashraf Nafa, commander of Hamas’ military wing in Tulkarm, and Muhammad Abu Abdu, commander of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, in a drone strike Tuesday morning, according to Palestinian media reports.
The Palestinians reported that five people were killed in the attack, including Nafa, Abu Abdu and two women. Security sources said that five terrorists were killed in the attack.
“An aircraft attacked armed terrorists during an operation in Tulkarm in the Menashe Brigade sector. Forces are exchanging fire,” the army said.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, once considered the armed wing of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement, announced their separation from Fatah in 2007 following a ban on armed militias. However, the two groups maintained ties over the years.
