Fatah members tell mother of suicide bombing planner: Your sons "drew with their blood the road towards freedom, independence and honor"
“On the 10th anniversary of his Martyrdom death (Shahada), a delegation of Fatah members in Nablus visited the mother of the commander and Martyr (Shahid) Naif Abu Sharakh and Martyr Ghassan Abu Sharakh, in her home in the Old City of Nablus… Fatah member Rashid Al-Namr told Al-Hayat Al-Jadida that the purpose of the visit was to emphasize the renewed commitment and loyalty to the Martyrs, who drew with their blood the road towards freedom, independence and honor. He explained that commander Abu Sharakh, as well as his brother, the Martyr Ghassan, was one of the distinct symbols of the Palestinian revolution in the entire homeland, and in the Jenin district and the north specifically. He also explained that the Martyr possessed the personality of a leader, which filled a role in assembling his many friends, despite their different [political] leanings, and that he used that [quality] in his confrontation with the enemy.
On her part, the Martyr’s mother, Um Naif, expressed her appreciation of the visit of her ‘sons’ (i.e., the Fatah members who visited her), whom she described as ‘esteemed Fatah members’ and emphasized the need to continue the struggle in the way her sons and all the Martyrs died, in order to liberate Palestine.”
Naif Abu Sharakh was the commander of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades (Fatah’s military wing) in Nablus. He was involved in many terrorist attacks against Israel, including a double suicide bombing in Tel Aviv on Jan. 5, 2003 in which 23 people were killed and dozens were injured. Sharakh was killed by the Israeli army on June 26, 2004.
Ghassan Abu Sharakh was suspected of being involved in a shooting attack in the West Bank in which Rabbi Meir Chai was killed, on December 24, 2009. Ghassan Abu Sharakh was killed while an Israeli army force attempted to arrest him, on Dec. 27, 2009.
