Yousef Khaled Abdel Majeed Al-Sarkaji (Arabic: يوسف خالد عبد المجيد السركجي; 30 May 1961 – 22 January 2022) was one of the most prominent founders of the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the West Bank (the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades) and was considered the secret commander of the Brigades. He was the first detainee to be deported to the Gaza Strip from the West Bank. He was born in the city of Nablus in the West Bank.[1]
His education
[edit]Yousef Al-Sarkaji was raised in a committed family and received his primary and secondary education in the schools of Nablus. He made his commitment to Islam was at fourteen years old.
He received his primary and secondary education in schools in Nablus, then obtained a bachelor's degree in Sharia from the University of Jordan in Amman. He studied under prominent Islamic scholars and leaders, including the martyr Dr. Abdullah Azzam, and the professors Dr. Ahmad Noufal, Fadl Abbas, Muhammad Awida, and others. However, the General Intelligence Department (Jordan) delayed giving him his university degree as punishment for his activity in Islamic work at the University of Jordan and the Suweileh area in Amman. He also obtained a master's degree in Sharia from An-Najah National University.[2]
Work
[edit]He worked as an imam and preacher in several mosques before settling in Al-Salam Mosque. There, a generation of Muslim youth grew up under his care, carrying the burdens of their religion, country and people. Among them were the two martyr leaders, Jasser Samaro and Naseem Abu Al-Rus, who accompanied him in his imprisonment.[citation needed]
Arrest and death
[edit]In 1992, Israeli authorities deported him, along with 417 leaders and members of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad Movement, to Marj al-Zuhur in Lebanon. Three years later, he was detained in Ashkelon prison, where he became seriously ill during interrogation, nearly experiencing kidney failure. This led to his release and deportation to Gaza. After a few days, he was transferred back to Nablus, where he was hospitalized, and one of his kidneys was removed.[2]
On January 22, 2022, he was killed during an Israeli military operation in Nablus targeting commanders of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, along with three other leaders.[2]
