A settler is injured and their car was destroyed in Kobar, west of #Ramallah.
Miqdad Qawasmeh, one of the six Palestinian prisoners who snatched their freedom in November 2021, after he underwent a 113-day-long hunger strike in protest of his administrative detention without charge or trial, holds his newborn daughter Elya for the first time. Her name was chosen after one of the names of the city of Al-Quds.
Miqdad writes: ”I still remember that day when the [occupation] prison warden used to visit me every week in my cell and tell me, 'Your hunger strike will not benefit you, you will not be released, you will not get married, you will not have children, and you will be without a family!' He did not realize what I knew and saw, and what I believed in. God forbid that He would leave us alone and forget us before and after, unless we change. I thank God for the safety of the soul of my heart and my other half, my wife and the companion of my journey, and may God honor her with health and offspring."

In May, we posted about Ahmed Harish's handover from the Palestinian Authority to the zionist enemy. This came after a 100-day-long hunger strike in PA prisons and a months-long chase by the PA which included collective punishment techniques, the same as those employed by zionists.
It may come as no surprise to some, and especially to those who watched Fadi Daraghmeh's testimony, that this is far from the first time that this has happened to Ahmed. At just 29 years old, the son of Beitunia has been imprisoned by the Palestinian Authority 14 times and by the zionist entity six times.
Ahmed's case is a prime example of the revolving door that manifests through the security coordination of the PA and zionist entity. His health suffers today, not only from his long hunger strike, but because of repeated torture and abuse in Palestinian Authority and zionist entity prisons. Today, Ahmed travels to zionist courts in a wheelchair because of this harsh torture and interrogation, an arduous path which started with his first PA imprisonment.
His most recent detainment before he was handed to the IOF was in the PA's infamous Areeha slaughterhouse for 157 days. Despite torture and interrogation, he went on a 47-day-long hunger strike with his peers.
Ahmed's lawyer says that the extent of torture Ahmed faced in the PA prisons surprised even the zionist Shin Bet. They, too, know Ahmed very well from the harsh physical and psychological torture he has endured in PA and zionist prisons.
Today, Ahmed is held in administrative detention without charge or trial, a new challenge he faces as of his transfer two days ago. Ahmed's year has been turbulent: from his hunger strike in PA prisons in October, to arrests of family members by the PA in March, a months-long manhunt by the PA, and then sending the IOF to do the job for them, all while he tries to be the best father that he can to his son.
The revolving door turns and turns.

Yesterday, zionist forces deprived the daughter of Al-Quds activist Ramzi Abbasi from hugging her father. After three months of being held without charge or trial, Ramzi Al-Abbasi's court date was extended by a week, effectively increasing his detention. His daughter is shown here embracing a photo of her father on her bed.
On Lebanon's historic victory, on Jenin's historic victory, security coordination, Ghassan Kanafani, the tenacity of resistance, and the tents in southern Lebanon:
Read this newly translated piece by Khaled Barakat, "Ghassan Kanafani and the tent of resistance heralding victory and return," originally published in Al-Akhbar.
"This year, the 51st anniversary of the martyrdom of the writer and leader Ghassan Kanafani coincides with the victory of the Jenin camp in the seemingly impossible battle led by the youth of the Brigades, those who refuse sponsorship and control. The fedayeen 'do not need their mother’s care,' Kanafani said.
The anniversary coincides with the resistance tent raised on a high southern hill in Lebanon, as a sign of victory, spreading awareness, light and challenge, and overlooking occupied Palestine. It is the resistance tent that heralds return and liberation. Here, precisely, the wisdom of the Palestinian woman of Kanafani’s novel, Umm Saad, appears once again with her revolutionary saying, 'One tent is not like another.' Yes, the tent of forced refuge, torment and humiliation cannot be the same tent that shades the fedayeen, under which those who give their lives in the struggle meet, with no goal but the liberation of their land and their return, the defense of the rights and dignity of their people. The tent of resistance accommodates everyone, stretching from the South of Lebanon to the South of Palestine and beyond.
The memory of Kanafani’s martyrdom on July 8, 1972, when he died as a martyr in the Hazmieh neighbourhood of Beirut with his niece, Lamis Najm, 17 years of age, comes to say: Something great is being born now in the tunnels and tents of the valiant resistance in the south of Lebanon, in Gaza, and in Jenin, and there is a bridge and an embrace that extends between the south of Lebanon and all of Palestine: a small tent, from which the great Arab liberation project will be born, from the ocean to the Gulf."

Ghassan Kanafani and the tent of resistance heralding victory and return
by Khaled Barakat, originally published in Al-Akhbar The historic victory of the national and Islamic resistance in Lebanon, led by Hezbollah, in May 2000, and the liberation of the South of Lebanon by force of arms, was the spark for and clear prelude to…
🟡🟢 Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, has just completed his speech on the occasion of the 17th anniversary of the start of the July 2006 war (1/3):
—
"When we set up a tent in Shebaa farms, we are setting up a tent on our Lebanese soil. God willing, whether we set up a tent, build a villa or make an airport there—no one can stop us."
"If the 'israeli' enemy was as before—the 'invincible army'—and Lebanon could be occupied by a musical band, then the tent would simply be bombed or struck and wouldn't even be set up. However, the situation has now changed and the 'israelis' didn't dare to make a move on the field. Because they know that silence is not an option. Our fighters have received instructions to deal with any 'israeli' aggression towards the tents."

Al-Manar TV reporter Ali Shoeib reports now from the Lebanon-Palestine border, "The terrified enemy launches some small drones at a high altitude in the atmosphere of some border shrubs and their neighboring villages in the western sector. Attempts are made to confront them when noticed from time to time, then they leave to the occupied territories."
This comes following an incident at the border this afternoon that sent the zionist media into a panic. Three young men approached the border after firing fireworks, were targeted by the IOF, and withdrew. Due to the increasingly tense nature of this front for the enemy, zionist media reported everything from a drone strike to an assassination for this incident, exposing its fragility and forcing the IOF to release a statement claiming that they "thwarted" an "operation."

Violent confrontations took place between Palestinians and invading occupation forces in Tal, #Nablus. A number of IOF soldiers suffocated after tear gas was thrown back at them. The IOF has since withdrawn without making any arrests.

🚨 Resistance fighters have opened fire on invading occupation soldiers in #Nablus.
The promise is always kept.
17 years ago ago, an extraordinary event that would reshape the course of resistance in Lebanon and the region transpired. It was the day of the Truthful Promise, the day that Lebanon's Hezbollah launched a daring operation that would change the trajectory of the struggle.
The clock read 9:05 AM. Eight steadfast resistance fighters crossed the colonial borders from their land, to their land, killing three zionist soldiers and capturing two others in this heroic journey.
The operation was orchestrated by strategic mastermind Hajj Imad Mughniyeh and was called “The Truthful Promise” referring to the solemn vow made by Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah to liberate all Lebanese prisoners in zionist jails.
The name of the operation was chosen by Dr. Ramadan Shallah, former Secretary-General of PIJ, a testament to the unity of the fields, past, present, and and future.

🚨 The Palestinian Authority Security Forces released a statement today saying, "There is no case of arrest on the basis of political affiliation in the West Bank, and all that is being circulated about its existence are baseless rumors."
This boldfaced lie was criticized by the journalist Aqil Awawdeh moments later. Aqil noted the joint statement by eight factions calling for the end of political arrests and the daily occurrences of protests of outrage at the arrests. Students and journalists are arrested on a regular basis for aligning themselves with resistance.
Hours later, Aqil was kidnapped from his workplace in Ramallah by the forces of the PA for "insulting the security services and leaders of Fatah," the same reason used to abduct a Jenin camp resident a few days ago.
At this moment, in fact, 54 political prisoners are held in the prisons of the PA. Among them are fighters and students, such as Murad Malaysha, Musab Shtayyeh (for whom a court ordered immediate release was issued months ago), Fallah Sawalmeh, Abdulmajid Hassan, Yahya Qassem, Omar Al-Kiswani, and many others. Several of them are handed over directly to the IOF, such as prisoner Ahmed Harish, who, at just 29, was imprisoned by the PA 14 times and the zionists six times.
