Khazem was the father of two previously slain fighters, Raed and Abdel-Rahman. The Israeli military operation targeted his residence in the northern West Bank city.
The Palestinian resistance movement issued a statement following his death, calling for intensified confrontation with Israeli occupation forces across the West Bank. Hamas characterized the killing as part of a broader pattern of military operations in the territory.
