Jenin – Ma'an –

An Al-Aqsa Brigades leader survived an assassination attempt in the West Bank town of Jenin on Friday.

The Al-Aqsa Brigades announced that General Abu Uday Al-Mansour had survived the Israeli occupation army attempt on his life.

Brigades media spokesman, Abu Al-Yasser, said in a statement that "Abu Uday Al-Mansour was present in a building located in the city of Jenin when the Israeli occupation forces tried to assassinate him, but he managed to escape safely."

Abu Al-Yasser said that the commander was in the building for a meeting with a number of Brigades members. He realized the existence of military jeeps surrounding the area and so managed to escape.

"Even if they were able to assassinate him we have hundreds of people who are ready to continue our path and our way of resistance," Abu Al-Yasser added.
