The Secretaries-General meeting in Cairo failed before it began. Yesterday, the Cairo meeting concluded after five hours of discussions between major Palestinian political factions, except those boycotting (PIJ). The emergency meeting was called in the wake of the Fury of Jenin battle, and a major point of contention was the release of the PA's 50+ political prisoners, many of whom are PIJ leaders.

In summary, nothing was gained from the meeting, and no closing statement was agreed upon. In terms of the Palestinian political scene, this is a net positive, as the PA was not able to get its way to enshrine itself as the "representative" of the Palestinian people nor to subdue resistance.

PIJ was willing to concede on some points had the PA agreed to release the political prisoners, a demand that Hamas, PFLP, and other factions pressured for as well. This was not achieved, and the result of the meeting was the formation of a "dialogue committee" to follow-up on the discussions, without a set date. This meeting comes following the October 2022 Algiers Accords, in which elections were agreed to be held within a year; however, the Cairo meeting differs in that it is the first of its kind in a long time that included so many factions, all of whom are targeted by the zionist government.

Five hours of discussion led to no result, but no result is favorable compared to the negative achievement of the PA seeking to establish "peaceful resistance" and "international legitimacy" under a back-stabbing Oslo framework. This is especially true in light of the PA's rabid pursual of resistance fighters (and journalists and students) and security coordination with the zionist entity in recent months following the Aqaba and Sharm El-Sheikh summits, anti-liberation behavior that did not cease despite the major resistance developments of the last year.

The PA criminalizes the righteous resistance of the factions, but the factions still agreed to meet to agree to a broad political consensus. The PFLP and Hamas worked hard with other factions to ensure no concessions on resistance would be made. Although PIJ did not attend, it made its position clear that it would not agree to any dialogue without the release of the PA's political prisoners, a demand that other factions, especially PFLP, rallied around. This demand, and the cessation of political arrests, was summarily rejected by the Palestinian Authority.

In summary, Abbas failed to gain any achievement except for the picture of Palestinian leaders sitting side by side, a false illusion of unity in contrast to the true unity on the ground and in the battlefield. Abbas stands with his illegally appointed Central Council members, a move rejected fully by all factions. PFLP led the charge on drafting a final statement and code of honor, which was developed in conjunction with the other factions to develop a unified resistance and representation strategy. What is clear is that mobilization and coordination of factions for a true national consensus is possible, but the US- and zionist-backed Palestinian Authority was and continues to be an obstacle.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
“And all they said was, ‘Our Lord! Forgive our sins and excesses, make our steps firm, and grant us victory over the disbelieving people.'” (Surah Al Imran / 147)

Praise be to Allah for the blessing of resistance against the plots of the aggressors. We do not speak as much as we wait [for you], and what is being prepared for your feeble army will be more violent and more painful for you.

Thanks to Allah, zionist enemy jeeps were targeted in the Tubas Governorate, in Al-Iskan area near Al-Waqai checkpoint, with direct barrages of bullets at 4:18 am.

With these honorable barrages, the arms of the men of the Tubas Brigade were united as well. We were and will remain standing shoulder to shoulder to defend our land, holy sites, and honor. This is, by the grace of Allah, just the beginning of what your eyes will witness of our strikes that will shatter the aggressors' bed.

Shortly, there will be a video to document the targeting. [Attached]

The occupation suddenly transferred the leader in the Popular Front, prisoner Wael Al-Jaghub, from Gilboa prison to solitary confinement.

The occupation Prison Service transferred all the prisoners in Asqalan prison to Nafha prison this morning.

A 30 year old soldier in the zionist army set himself on fire in the settlement of “Netanya” today, presumably due to shock incurred nine years ago during the 2014 assault on Gaza. His condition is described as “serious.”

🚨 BREAKING: A number of settlers are wounded in what appears to be a resistance shooting operation inside a mall in the settlement of “Maale Adumim,” east of #AlQuds.

Five settlers have been wounded in the resistance shooting operation which took place near a mall in the settlement of “Maale Adumim,” #AlQuds.

Reports indicate that the executor has ascended to martyrdom. He was wearing a security guard vest and attempted to enter the mall before executing his operation outside of it using an M16 rifle.

Footage showing the moment the heroic resistance shooting operation was carried out in the settlement of “Maale Adumim,” and the martyrdom of the executor.

Glory to the martyrs.

20-year-old Muhannad Mazara’a ascended to martyrdom after executing his heroic shooting operation in “Maale Adumim,” which wounded five settlers, two of whom are in serious condition.

Muhannad’s operation is the first operation to be carried in this settlement since the second and last heroic operation of the martyr Oday Al-Tamimi.

In his will, Oday wrote: “I know that I will not liberate Palestine with my operation. But I carried out the operation, and its goal was clear to me: to mobilize hundreds of young men to carry the gun after me.“

Glory to the martyrs.

🟢 Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem:
—
The brave resistance strikes again in Al-Quds, in response to the religious and zionist war on our holy sites, especially the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.

These operations are a practical application of what we declare that Al-Aqsa Mosque is a red line, and that any escalation of aggression against it will be met with more heroic actions from our people and resistance.

The rebellious youth in Al-Quds and the West Bank will continue their uprising and operations against the zionist occupation.

Al-Quds is always the spark of revolutions and a source of inspiration to carry out operations to resist the occupation's attack on Al-Quds and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The resistance affirms that the occupation's gram on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque will not pass without a response, and will always be met with direct action against its zionist war.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is a red line, and any escalation of the occupation's aggression against it will be met with heroic and qualitative operations.

Not all of the occupation's attempts to tamper with the sanctity of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque will succeed.

We tell the occupation that the religious war against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque will not pass.

The extremist occupation government is waging a religious war against Islamic sanctities to undermine their identity and Judaize them.

The fascist occupation government will not succeed or achieve victory over our Palestinian people.

The "Ma'ale Adumim" operation is the most honest expression of the Palestinian people's consciousness.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine confirms that the heroic operation in the settlement of "Ma'ale Adumim," built on our stolen land, is an expression of the Palestinian's awareness of his land, identity, and the reality of the ongoing struggle with the enemy in defense of existence and land. This was embodied by the martyr Muhannad Mazara’a (20 years old) with all bravery and audacity.

The Front emphasizes that resistance in all its forms, foremost of which is armed struggle and resistance operations, represents the ideal tool to confront the zionist enemy, and that the heroic qualitative operations in the heart of the settlement gatherings are the Palestinian response confirming the impossibility of the zionist invaders to achieve security, even in their most fortified settlements.

The Front calls on the masses of our people to continue to embody national unity in the face of the zionist enemy and be aware of all the plans and practices that work to tear and drain the unity of our people. We stress the need for national solidarity in the fields and trenches of confrontation, from all affiliations of our people.

Unity and resistance are the choice of our people who have expressed it and will continue to walk on it until the defeat of the invading enemy and the snatching of our people's legitimate rights. Our people will never fail to develop field unity to build the unitary nationalism to confront the enemy in all fields.

⚔️ Popular Resistance Committees:
The heroic operation in "Ma'ale Adumim" is a new slap to the entire security and military system of the zionist enemy, and a new breakthrough that proves the failure and inability of the zionist entity in the face of the heroes of our people and its free people. We on our resistance fighters and our free, revolutionary youth to continue to strike the enemy and its settler herds wherever they can reach on our occupied land.

The Resistance Committees salutes the hero resistance fighter who executed the operation in "Ma'ale Adumim," who is an honorable model that all our youth must follow and walk on his path and approach, and continue the open confrontation and clash with all components of the zionist enemy and its settlers.

♦️ Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
The heroic "Ma'ale Adumim" operation comes in response to the crimes of occupation and its organized terrorism, and it is a strike against all "israeli" security measures and barriers. Our people will continue their struggle and resistance in all forms until the occupation is swept away and their national rights are accomplished.

⚫ PIJ spokesman Tariq Selmi:
Once again, the Palestinian people prove that their will is stronger than all the conspiracies aiming to distract them from confronting the enemy and standing up to it, so a knight from the heroes of our resistant people comes out, directing his weapon and bullets towards the chest of the zionist enemy who persists in their crimes and attacks against our people, our land, and our sanctities.

⚪️ Mujahideen Movement:
We congratulate the heroic "Ma'ale Adumim" operation, which proved that all the conspiracies being plotted against our people and our resistance will not distort the compass of our resistance rooted in the conscience of our people. This operation came to once again shatter the zionist security system and to affirm our people's determination to continue on the path of resistance. This operation comes as a natural response to the aggressions of the occupation and its criminal army, and we call on our youth and our fighting factions to intensify their operations against the occupation forces and the hordes of its settlers.

🟡🟢 Secretary General of Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah:
—
What protects Lebanon, its wealth and sovereignty is the resistance, while the international community is deceitful and treacherous.

We rely on the peoples in their resistance...and we say to the Palestinian people, rely on yourselves, your fists, your blood, and those who stand with you in the Axis of Resistance.

We are in a time of victories made by people and resistance, not by governments and states.

What will prevent an attack on the Al-Aqsa Mosque is the readiness of the fighters in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen to defend it.

What is happening in the Ain Al-Hilweh camp is painful and sad, and we call on everyone to stop the fighting and resort to the judiciary, the rational, and the wise. Anyone who can make an effort to stop the fighting must do so, as it is not permissible for this conflict to continue because its repercussions are bad for our Palestinian people, the people of Saida, and the people of the South.
