Three Zionist police officers were killed in a shooting operation in the southern West Bank governorate of al-Khalil on Sunday morning.
Two police officers were critically injured and one was seriously wounded in a drive-by shooting on Route 35 east of the Tarqumiyah military checkpoint. Occupation emergency services rushed to the scene in an area to the northwest of the city of al-Khalil. Emergency services later announced the death of the three injured soldiers.
Zionist radio news stated that 11 bullets were fired at the targeted vehicle, and the shooting took place one kilometer from the Tarqumiya military checkpoint.The operation was conducted amid ongoing Zionist aggression on the northern governorates of the West Bank in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Tubas. This aggression coincides with continued incursions into several cities and towns across the West Bank.
The Palestinians revolutionaries who carried out the operation safely withdrew from the site.
Meanwhile, commenting on the operation, Zionist media highlighted that “three attacks were carried out in the West Bank within 3 days under the nose of the Israeli army and the Shin Bet.”
The Zionist media noted that “the deadly attack took place half an hour after the army opened the checkpoints in the area.”
Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade claimed responsibility for the action. Below we will post their full statements and statements from other factions.

“And kill them wherever you find them, and expel them from wherever they have expelled you.”
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claim responsibility for the double Al-Khalil operation that resulted in the injury of 3 “israeli” soldiers, including a senior officer.
Following the path of the first martyrs and the road of struggle and resistance, and in response to the crimes of the occupation against our people everywhere, the fighters of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades continue their heroic operations against the zionist enemy forces as part of the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, affirming that the volcano of the West Bank will not be extinguished and that the blood of our people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank is a red line.
As part of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades’ responses to the ongoing aggression of the occupation, our fighters carried out a heroic double operation on the evening of Friday, 26th of Safar 1446 AH / corresponding to 30-08-2024, where the first fighter detonated a car at the gas station at the “Gush Etzion” junction, and then the second fighter ran over a settler guard at the “Karmei Tzur” settlement, infiltrate the settlement, and open fire towards the soldiers in the area. The heroes of this operation, who ascended to the highest, are:
– The heroic martyr: Zuhdi Nidal Abu Afifa
– The heroic martyr: Mohammad Ihsan Marqa
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, while claiming responsibility for this heroic double operation, confirm the following:
**First:** It comes as revenge for the blood of the martyrs and as part of the responsibility to respond to the zionist massacres in the Gaza Strip and the crimes of the occupation in the occupied West Bank and the violations it commits against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
**Second:** We affirm that the herds of settlers will only see death, bullets, and gunpowder from the might of our fighters in the West Bank, and that the flames of the Al-Aqsa Brigades’ advanced explosives, which recently detonated among the occupation soldiers in Tulkarem, Jenin, and Tubas, will not be extinguished as long as the occupier remains entrenched on our land and continues its aggression against our people.

– This operation sends a strong message to the zionist enemy that the train of fedayeen operations continues relentlessly and cannot be stopped by anyone, affirming that the resistance persists in its exceptional operations across the West Bank.
– This operation reflects a high level of planning and unparalleled bravery by the resistance fighters, who surprised the zionist soldiers and then withdrew with great professionalism.
– This new operation proves the enemy’s incapacity and complete failure in the face of the will of the resistance and redraws the deterrence equations in the occupied West Bank.

**The Democratic Front congratulates the escalating resistance operations in the West Bank against occupation forces, the latest being the** **Tarqumiah oper****ation.**A leadership source in the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine commented on the escalating heroic operations in the occupied West Bank in Jenin, Tulkarem, Nablus, and Al-Khalil, the latest being the heroic Tarqumiah operation this morning, which resulted in the killing of three soldiers and police officers of the occupation by the Palestinian resistance, which has recently taken an upward trajectory in support of Gaza and in response to the ongoing crimes of the occupation in Jenin and the northern West Bank, now in its fifth consecutive day.
The source added: These operations and the escalating resistance in all its forms come as a response to the campaign of ethnic cleansing and displacement and the plan to annex the West Bank, openly declared by the occupation leaders after they suffered a humiliating defeat in the valiant Gaza Strip over the past eleven months, due to the steadfast resistance and the resilience of the popular support base, despite the American and NATO partnership in the aggression and genocide, and the disgraceful Arab silence, which is closer to siding with the enemy.
The source concluded by affirming that our people, in the face of these massacres and at this critical historical stage in their struggle, have chosen resistance as the path to confront the conspiracies being hatched against their future and their cause, and have proven that they possess the elements of strength necessary to sustain the struggle against the occupation and deter the enemy on the path to securing our legitimate rights to an independent state with Al-Quds as its capital.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.**The Al-Khalil operation is a natural response to the crimes of the occupation against our people, and the resistance will only grow stronger and more fierce.**
The heroic resistance operations in the West Bank, the latest of which was the Al-Khalil operation this morning, where 3 occupation forces were killed, are a natural response to the horrific massacres and the genocide in the Gaza Strip, as well as the zionist crimes in the West Bank and occupied Al-Quds.
Our steadfast people, who are engaged in Al-Aqsa Flood battle, will continue the path of jihad (struggle) and resistance against the zionist enemy, rejecting occupation, oppression, and aggression, until the liberation of Palestine and the purification of Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the settlers.

This is a natural response from the free people of our nation to the crimes and extremism of Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and their gang in the fascist government of the entity.This heroic operation is a natural extension of our people’s resistance and response to the ongoing zionist aggression in the northern West Bank and the continuous genocide in Gaza, as well as the ongoing Judaization efforts and attacks on Al-Quds and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The operation confirms the escalation of the resistance and its revolutionary momentum, showing that it has become a steadfast choice for our people to reclaim their rights and repel aggression. zionist crimes will only strengthen the resistance, making it more resolute, innovative, and powerful.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most MercifulWe congratulate the steadfastness of the heroic resistance fighters in the occupied West Bank in the face of the criminal aggression launched by the extremist Nazi government.
What the enemy is tasting of the might of the fighters in Al-Khalil, and its admission of the death of three of its policemen in a heroic operation carried out by the fighters west of Al-Khalil, and the heroic confrontations that the resistance fighters are waging in Jenin and other areas is a message to the enemy that our people will thwart its criminal aggression and bring down its goals.
In the face of the continued aggression of the zionist enemy against our people, we condemn the Arab and international silence and the complicity of the American administration that provides cover for the aggression in the West Bank as well as in Gaza.
And indeed, it is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command congratulates the heroic operation near the Tarqumiah checkpoint west of Al-Khalil, which resulted in the killing of three zionist police officers, according to the enemy’s own admissions.This heroic operation comes despite the enemy imposing a security alert and siege after the two simultaneous heroic operations in the “Karmei Tzur” and “Gush Etzion” settlements near Al-Khalil, underscoring the fragility of the occupation’s security system in the face of the steadfast resistance, which has the absolute right to respond to the crimes of the occupation.
We in the Front, while congratulating this act of resistance, mourn the heroic martyr Muhannad Al-Asoud from the town of Idhna, who carried out the operation. We pledge to his pure soul to follow in his footsteps, and we call on our people to escalate the resistance at all points of confrontation and clash with the usurping occupier. The occupier must know that there is no safe place for him in Palestine and that his removal from this land is only a matter of time. The price for his ongoing crimes across Palestine and throughout the geography of our Arab and Islamic nation will be paid with his security and the blood of his settlers.
The revolution continues until the liberation of the land and people.
