3 people, as you mentioned that were killed in this a, b a. so as well as abraham are out now who see also 2 of the people, one of them in the pomp of with him and also a 16 year old. so you can see how many people that are out around here, assorted testament to how popular hit this leader of the alex said martin forgave. busy was it, it was young and people say here, quite charismatic yet a strong presence on social media as well. so you can see a lot of young people here. we just had the family as well. go past us later on today or reasonably soon actually we'll probably have also the funeral because the body is here as well. now we've just been spoken. speaking to an eye witness someone what was here while the right to place and basically confirming some of the details through. so the israeli military gave out which was that they had an area

in the old town of nablus, surrounded and then they went after abraham on the blue sea, a who barricaded himself into a building with gum men who were supporting him, re lost it or not by the israeli forces last did for a number of hours. the bliss saying here from 5 am to 9 am in the morning, they will so fired a missile, a shoulder fired me. so at some point, and there was also gas is will people here were telling us used to disperse people a t, a gust type substance, can just hear people as well, like, and sorts of shouting slogans and things like that. just as we're transmitting off to that the leader of one of the leaders of alex amounts is brigade, was killed. and this is important as well. and because this happened in area, a novelist where we are right now is area a. so just to explain to our audience,

this is an area in which is really full, says under the old low agreement on actually meant to go into. and in this occasion, they obviously went an impulse. it's not completely unusual for them to commit to go in and grade areas like nobliss. it is not common for them to go in with the number of people with the numbers. so just like did so, and it's also not that common for them to do it during the hours of daylight as opposed to in the middle of the night. i'm lot so definitely there's a general strike kit also in nablus. the we're hearing is also expanding to ramallah as people, moon, the staff of this commander. and just to on him, he was of his he dumped the line of novelist. so just how significant is his desk? i think it's hugely significant to the people here in nablus,

if we're talking about the picture of israel and the occupied territories as a whole. the alex amounts is brigade, is the military of a factor, which is the dominant organisation here. and of course you've got the palestinian authority, but it is separate from islamic jihad now for our audience who's been watching us in the last few days at the problems in the escalation in gaza is between the israeli state and his lamb at g had a more powerful group, so this is separate from that conflict. what is interesting about this is that israel just off the, at this escalation with god said they've only just had a sci fi bro could by the egyptians. and they still sent forces into here that we've been speaking to atlas within israel, that have been sorts of highlighting that and saying that that's really a sign of israel, a trying to fragment and divide that the to disable that sees far is one thing that doesn't mean that we're going to stop acting against other armed groups in the

occupied at west bank and we're not going to sorts of stay at hand from going off to them at the moment. john holman, thank you very much for that update. the if the i has search the florida home, a former u. s. president donald trump, he criticized the ride, calling it a witness, zation of the justice system. mike, hannah reports from washington. the former president was staying at his apartment in manhattan when the raid took place and was seen leaving camp taller and walking towards waiting cars. according to the former president, his home in marell lago florida was rated by a large group of f. b. i. agents who he alleges also opened the safe in his home. his statement says, after working and cooperating with a relevant government agencies, this unannounced rate on my home was not necessary or appropriate. the justice

department has declined to comment on the matter, including about whether attorney general mary garland had personally authorized to search. previously, the national archives and records administration had referred the discovery of 15 boxes of classified information at maro lago to the justice department for investigation. no former president has a additional determination that it is likely that they have committed a crime charges do not sign off on warrants or anyone lightly. they always believe that there is likely that a crime has been committed and that it has been committed at this specific location . so this is genuinely an unprecedented event. the house general u 6 committee, which is investigating the invasion of the capital on that day had also heard evidence about the removal of classified documents when trump left office. there

were also claims that when trump was president, he had repeatedly shredded or disposed of classified material. after reading it, the destruction or removal of classified documents to an unauthorized location is a federal offense. mckenna, audi sierra, washington voting is under way in kenya's presidential election. after campaign, dominated by concerns about high inflation and corruption, the 2 front runners, our former prime minister, rolla finger in the current deputy presidents, william router, the rice to replace outgoing leader who do kinyata is expected to be close. vote is also casting belts for parliament and county governors o malcolm weird. the joins us now live from nairobi and as we've had kenyans said, a fit up with corruption, rising inflation and unemployment. so what the ordinary people want from this vote?

well the cost to living is definitely something that's a major concern for millions of canyons. the candidates of evidently realized that they've been promising to address it. the price of fuel of the problems gone up by about 60 percent since the beginning of the air. the prices of some staple foods gone up by a similar amount. the government's been subsidizing these things. but at the same time, kenya has a pending debt crisis. on the last 9 years of government on the deputy president william router, one of the main content is in this election and is boss who kenyata you just mentioned. there's been borrowing the critics say was excessive to build infrastructure projects which were mod, by corruption scandals. so ever takes over after this, whether it's william router or his main rival, viber dinner. they were going to be obliged by the i m f to cut those subsidies

in the coming month. so it seemed like the cost of living certain to get even higher. and in this environment of widespread corruption, incoming officials in the new government are also going to expect their share of patronage so much as both candidates have promised to address corruption. and the cost of living is quite likely that things are going to get worse before they get better to the voters, to whom the promises have been made. now come with no doubt will be speaking to you as result. start to roland. thank you very much. i'll still ahead on al jazeera, any attack to a nuclear plants is a suicidal seeing russia. it will allow access to this upper reason. nuclear plant in ukraine is both sides accused each other of attacking the facility and ice people did. and parts of the city of sola under water. after torrential, brian ah

lou. ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories, the salad, the senior commander of the palestinian armed group, al october gates has been killed in a ride by israeli forces and the occupied with bank to other palestinians died in the operation. and more than 60 people were injured, the f b i had searched the florida harm of former us president donald trump. it's part of an investigation into whether he took classified records from the white house to his private residence. voting is underway in kenya's presidential election. the to frontrunner is a former prime minister, rollo duncan,

that was deemed up. leave, your selection will be free, and it is every, every canyon's hope that that is the way it shall be. do you also of absolutely, on the other hand, we have deputy president william root or he has fallen out with his boss. some people say he had become very, very popular in central kenya. but outside the politics, a lot of people share the same concerns. the cost of leaving, there are no jobs. people are worried about corruption. a lot of people we've talked to say they don't trust the leaders. so you get a sense of little optimism when it comes to the selection or tie one's military has held a live fire artillery drill, simulating a defense of the self governing island. it follows days of chinese military exercises in the air and sea around tie one. china launched the drills and responds to us health. we can nancy pelosi visit to taipei last week. taiwan drills include the deployment of hundreds of troops and about 40 long range weapons. video

like the beginning of the peerless normalization of new elements in their actions in the taiwan straits. and that sealing off the island has become a reality that can be stage at any time and showed that the life blood of taiwan was in the hands of china. now the form an issue was pressed on whether or not this represented some sort of new normal on wednesday and spokesperson one when been wins, elaborates but again, said that taiwan is part of china. and so that's the drills were all in accordance with international and domestic loan. it does seem as though there is an effort to eliminate the concepts of taiwanese air space and waters, as well as of the median line. which words, as i said before, constitutes some sort of change to the status quo. or heavy rains have flooded south korea's capital tuning the streets of souls effluent gangnam district into
