Ibrahim Nabulsi; The 18-year-old who did not put down his gun and became the “Lion of Nablus”.
In the last days of 1401, Tehran Times newspaper chose Ebrahim Nabulsi as “Personality of the Year”. In the following report, we will discuss this brave figure and the bold legacy he left behind.
Nablusi was born in 2001 after the second intifada, and in his life in the occupied city of Nablus in the West Bank, he witnessed the cruelty and brutal killing of Israeli forces and settlers.
This atrocity prompted him to take up arms and join the Palestinian war against Israel, and along the way, he played a role as an organizer of revenge operations against the Zionist occupation.
At such a young age, he was one of the most wanted people wanted by the Zionist occupiers and he survived several assassination attempts. He became a well-known figure among the residents of his hometown, Nablus, especially among the youth. Young people who describe him as a humble yet brave and fearless person who never sought fame, name and fame.
But these were the characteristics that made him very famous and popular before his martyrdom on August 9, 2022 (18 August) and after that.
His fearlessness and desire for martyrdom earned him the nickname “Lion of Nablus” and also led to the formation of a resistance group called “Bisheh Shirha” in the occupied territories.
His father says: Abraham hunted them (Zionists), not the other way around. Whenever he heard about the armed attack of the Israelis, he was the first person who went to them and confronted them. This was his fate and we thank God for this.
After the martyrdom of three Palestinians, the Zionists thought at one point that they had killed him too, but Ibrahim was seen at their funeral the next day.
