This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Amir Imad Amin Abu Khadijeh (Arabic: أمير عماد أمين أبو خديجة; January 13, 1999 – March 23, 2023) was a Palestinian militant and former leader of the Tulkarm Brigade.

As the forces surrounded the house where Abu Khadijeh was hiding, he attempted to shoot at undercover Border Police officers from a window but was shot and wounded.

At the time, his father, Imad Abu Khadija, was working as a government employee there following the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority.

[20][21][22][23][24][25][26] After a long pursuit of Abu Khadijeh by Israel,[27] Israeli special forces managed to kill him by using the Mista'arvim, the Shin Bet, the IDF and the Border Guards in a military operation during which they besieged a house in which he was holed up in the southern suburb of the city of Tulkarm on Thursday, March 23, 2023, the first day of Ramadan.

[32] The Palestinian Ministry of Health said that Abu Khadija had arrived at a hospital in the city of Tulkarm, and died after being shot in the head and lower limbs; his brain was torn.

[33][34] The killing of Abu Khadija came in light of a pledge by Palestinian and Israeli leaders that had been made on March 19, 2023, which aimed to reduce tension during Ramadan.
