🟡 Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Nablus:
—
03:57 AM: Our fighters are confronting the zionist occupation forces storming the city of Nablus in the Asira area near Checkpoint 17, and are targeting them with heavy barrages of bullets.

On the 51st anniversary of Ghassan Kanafani's martyrdom, we remember Ghassan's resistance and the many ways that it manifested.

Today, we honor Ghassan Kanafani, a revolutionary whose name is eternally carved in struggle for the liberation of Palestine.

Ghassan was not only a writer or thinker. A leader of PFLP along with George Habash, he was a military strategist, an embodiment of what martyr Basil Al-Araj called “the clashing intellectual,” despite having never fired a weapon.

It is indisputable that Ghassan's name embodies all the qualities of a real resistance fighter in his life and in his death: a writer, thinker, artist, politician, father, husband, son, revolutionary, intellectual, and fighter all at once. He understood the power of words and used them to ignite a revolution in the hearts of the people that still burns to this day and fuels acts of resistance.

It is one thing to write. It is a completely different thing to make writing a weapon. Your pen the barrel of a rifle, your words the bullets fired into the chest of the enemy. Ghassan understood that.

His left a mark on so many that it is difficult to believe it was only coincidence—from being the first to notice Naji Al-Ali’s drawings at an exhibition in Beirut and publishing his drawings, to working alongside George Habash, to influencing Mahmoud Darwish’s writings. One of his most famous quotes was: "Beware of a natural death and do not die except under a hail of bullets," inspire many resistance fighters who transform his ideology into actions. These same words are written on the grave of the Lion of Nablus, Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi.

The truth is Ghassan was a fighter who fought with his words, embodying “a cultural form of resistance is never less valuable than armed resistance itself.” This ethos was central to how he operated. His words—inspiring so many to carry the rifle and to write their own martyrdom while defiantly facing the enemy—were exactly why that same enemy needed to silence him.

With everything he offered to the cause, Ghassan could only ascend as a martyr. And so he rose, on a sunny summer day in Beirut in a Mossad assassination that targeted him and his 17-year-old niece Lamees. His body was scattered on the ground. His left hand was found on a tree.

Curiously, his watch didn’t stop ticking. "Bodies fall, but not the idea." Revolutionary thoughts do not abide by the rules of time.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
“O believers! If you stand up for Allah, He will help you and make your steps firm.”
That is the truth of Allah Almighty.

By Allah’s Grace, a [zionist] sniper was directly hit in one of the homes of Jenin camp.

[This is] the trace of their blood. Look at the traces of their damned blood.
