GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Israeli occupation forces (IOF) assassinated Murad al-Rajoub, a liberated prisoner, in Gaza at noon Friday.
Murad al-Rajoub was released from Israeli prison and deported from his hometown Dura in al-Khalil in the West Bank to the Gaza Strip 13 years ago in the Wafa al-Ahrar prisoner exchange deal with Israel.
His family said an Israeli drone targeted Murad while walking in An-Nasr street, to the west of Gaza City, killing him instantly along with three other citizens.
Murad, who was serving a 38-year sentence in Israeli prisons was released in 2011 after spending ten years in Israeli jails. He was a member of the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.
The IOF killed dozens of liberated prisoners, who were deported after their release from the West Bank to Gaza Strip in the same prisoners’ exchange deal, since the start of its aggression on the enclave in October 2023.
