From Silwad cell to Gaza... the occupation assassinates freed prisoner Farah al-Natour Silwad cell

Freed prisoner Farah al-Natour, a member of the Silwad cell affiliated with the Al-Qassam Brigades, was martyred from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike in Gaza. Al-Natour was deported to the Strip as part of the Wafa al-Ahrar deal in 2011 after serving 8 years in prison.

Freed prisoner Farah Ahmad Hamed, known as "Farah al-Natour," from the town of Silwad northeast of Ramallah, was martyred on Wednesday from wounds sustained when he was targeted on Al-Rashid Street in the Sheikh Ajlin area, southwest of Gaza City. Hamed hailed from Silwad and was a member of a cell affiliated with the Al-Qassam Brigades that carried out shooting operations against Israeli targets in the West Bank during the years of the Al-Aqsa Intifada. He was arrested by occupation forces in 2003 and spent about eight years in their prisons, before the resistance released him on October 18, 2011, as part of the prisoner exchange deal "Wafa al-Ahrar," after which he was deported to the Gaza Strip. Hamed was one of four residents of Silwad who participated in a Qassam cell that, on October 19, 2003, carried out an operation targeting Israeli soldiers in the Ein Yabrud area east of Ramallah. Four Israeli soldiers were killed in the operation, and the perpetrators seized their weapons. The group included, alongside Farah al-Natour, Khaled al-Najjar, Ahmad al-Najjar, and Yasser Hammad. Local accounts indicate that the cell continued its activity for about three years and carried out armed operations in the Ramallah area and its villages.
