Jbara, a key figure in the faction that participates in resistance operations supporting the Palestinian people from Lebanon, was killed in the Lebanese town of Ghazzeh in the Western Bekaa. Born in Qaraoun in the Bekaa Valley, Jbara's death marks a significant loss for the Islamic Group, which has seen multiple members martyred since October 2023.
The Islamic Group's statement emphasized the unity and resilience of resistance factions in Lebanon against the Israeli occupation. Since launching operations against Israeli forces on October 8, 2023, the group has mourned several martyrs, including Mohammad Bashasha and Mahmoud Shahine, who died alongside top Hamas leader Saleh al-Arouri on January 2, 2024, in Beirut's Southern Suburb.
Bassam Hamoud, Vice President of the Islamic Group's political bureau, reiterated the party's commitment to confronting Israeli aggression and supporting the Palestinian cause. The resistance factions in Lebanon, led by Hezbollah, have formed a formidable front to enhance the effectiveness of their operations against Israeli occupation forces.
The ongoing conflict continues to draw in various factions, solidifying a united resistance effort within Lebanon. (ILKHA)
