An American citizen was reportedly killed fighting for Hamas in the recent conflict with Israel. Joe Truzman, a contributor to Foundation for Defense of Democracies Long War Journal (FDD), wrote on Saturday that “an American citizen known as Osama al-Zebda was fighting with the Hamas’ Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades during the recent conflict.
The report notes that al-Zebda was on a US terrorist watch list. His son was featured in videos with Hamas commander Yahya Sinwar on Monday, in which the Hamas commander puts a rifle in the toddler’s hand. His death and the death of his father, a well-known Hamas engineer, have been featured on Palestinian media.
The FDD article by Truzman notes that it is unclear if Osama was born in the US or was a naturalized citizen. Jamal al-Zebda, the man’s father, was also killed in the May 12 airstrike. Nasser Atta, a journalist and expert notes that “professor Jamal Al Zebda, 64 years old, was the head of the Rockets development department within Hamas… he graduated from US universities and his eldest son Osama, 33 years old, is a US citizen who was an engineer at the rockets department; both were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza 10 days ago.”

Good. May he rot in hell.
Stop calling them Americans.
Another John Walker Lindh.
So how did this “American” Osama al-Zebda become a citizen?
Once upon a time you had to be in good standing to be eligible for USA citizenship. Not any more.
“an American citizen known as Osama al-Zebda “
That’s not an American. Period.
I wonder how many ANTIFA militants are over there training to bring small unit tactics/weapons knowledge back to their ilk in the States?
Democrat no doubt.
Osama al-Zebda? Obviously his ancestors came over on the Mayflower.
“Jamal al-Zebda, the man’s father, was also killed in the May 12 airstrike”
That’s what we call a “twofer”.
It’s always nice when a story has a happy ending.
BLM? ANTIFA?
He chose poorly
He’s a 33 Year old engineer. If we work backward, he graduated college, likely in the US, around 2010. He becomes a Refugee during the Gaza last occupation or when the Syrian war pops off, he becomes a “refugee” and Obama makes him a citizen.
He and His father both graduated Summa Cum Boom.
One less democrat voter. Well given the last election, let’s hope so.
He and his father graduated Summa Cum Loud Boom.
There fixed it.
Hope it was very painful
Was being the operative word there. No need to watch him now. :)
