The first of the three Martyrs who were executed by the British Mandate authorities at Acre Prison following the Al-Buraq Rebellion (i.e., the 1929 Hebron Massacre and accompanying riots) and the youngest among them...

Ever since his childhood he was known for his courage and heroism, and he took an active part in his city during the rebellion that spread throughout Palestine following the Al-Buraq events in 1929.”

Muhammad Jamjoum, Fuad Hijazi, and Ataa Al-Zir “committed particularly brutal murders [of Jews] at Safed and Hebron,” according to the report by British Government to the League of Nations. They were convicted of attacking British soldiers and murdering Jews in the 1929 Hebron Massacre, in which 65 Jews were murdered. They were executed by the British in 1930.
