“Fixed, fixed.” This phrase was one of the phrases that resonated the most when the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), along with the rest of the Palestinian resistance factions, launched the Battle of al-Aqsa Flood on the seventh of last October.
This phrase was repeated by Qassam fighter Mahmoud Khaled Shaqura when he confronted an Israeli soldier and shot him from zero range during the storming of the Beit Hanoun (Erez) military crossing site in the northern Gaza Strip. But he remained unknown like other resistance faction fighters, until yesterday, Saturday, some accounts called him out and revealed his identity. His identity and his martyrdom were announced in the battles of Jabalia, north of Gaza.

One of the tweeters, named Muhammad, mourned the Qassamese fighter Shaqura, saying, “Erez and the skulls of its soldiers bear witness to you, Jabalia and the rubble of its tanks bear witness to you, the resistance bears witness to you and you are its elite, and Gaza bears witness to you and you are its son. You asked for martyrdom and obtained it, steadfast in your words, steadfast in your actions, steadfast in killing them… To the mercy of God, the martyr, dear cousin Mahmoud Shaqura. Congratulations on your martyrdom, cousin. May God honor you and make the body your resting place.
A resident of the neighborhood where Shaqqura used to live commented, saying, “May God accept you and have mercy on you. You left ahead without planning. The neighbor and son of my neighborhood who lives in the back street. The son of the Beit Lahia project departs as a martyr in the second battle of Jabalia Camp.
