Biography
Abboud Sobeh was a 29-year-old Palestinian from Nablus, located in the northern part of the occupied West Bank. He lived in the Old City of Nablus, an area frequently affected by Israeli military operations and ongoing conflict. Abboud was among the many Palestinians living under persistent military raids and tensions in the region.
Abboud Sobeh’s life was marked by the harsh realities of occupation in Nablus, a city that has seen repeated incursions and violent clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian residents. Like many young Palestinians, Abboud experienced the daily challenges of living in a contested territory where military raids, arrests, and exchanges of fire have become part of the community’s experience. His life, along with those of others in the al-Yasmina neighborhood and beyond, was deeply impacted by the ongoing conflict and military presence. On July 24, 2022, during a large-scale Israeli military operation involving undercover soldiers and armored vehicles invading Nablus’s Old City, Abboud was fatally shot amid fierce exchanges of gunfire between Israeli forces and Palestinian resistance fighters.
