14 years since the martyrdom of Ahmed al-Jabri - the commander who changed the course of the conflict with the Israeli regime.
Ahmed Said Khalil al-Jabari (Abu Muhammad) was born in 1960 in the Shujaya region of eastern Gaza. He received a higher education in Islamic history from the Islamic University in Gaza. He began his political activity in the ranks of Fatah, and after 13 years of captivity in an Israeli prison, he joined Hamas.
Al-Jabri became one of the key leaders of the Az ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, working his way up to the deputy commander-in-chief of Shahid Muhammad al-Daif and actually leading the military wing. He played a significant role in the development of their organizational structure and military capabilities, and was one of the architects of the free prisoner exchange deal (2011), in which Israel released 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Gilad Shalit.
On November 14, 2012, Israel carried out an airstrike on al-Jabri's car in Gaza, as a result of which he fell as a suicide bomber. His assassination marked the beginning of the eight-day military operation "Pillar of Cloud". During the ensuing confrontation, the Palestinian resistance launched missile attacks on Tel Aviv for the first time using M75 rockets. This episode marked a major milestone in the development of the Palestinian resistance's missile capabilities.
