Ramadan Abdullah Mohammed Shalah (Arabic: رمضان عبد الله محمد شلح; 1January 1958[1] – 6June 2020) was a Palestinian military officer and the leader of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a militant anti-zionist group, between 27October 1995 and 2018.
On becoming secretary-general of PIJ, Shalah was designated a Specially Designated Terrorist (SDT) by the United States on 27 November 1995.[2] In 2006, he was placed on the United States FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list.[3]
In April 2018, Shalah suffered a series of strokes, and on 28September 2018 was replaced by Ziyad al-Nakhalah as PIJ leader.
During the 23 years of his leadership of PIJ, the group undertook numerous attacks on Israeli civilians, including suicide bombings; and has suffered extensive operations against its infrastructure carried out by the IDF, which resulted in severe losses to the group, and it appeared significantly weakened by 2004.[4][5]
