Today's story is about the revolutionary, internationalist comrade, colonel, and martyr, Antoun Jamil Slim Dawoud.

From Mexico to Palestine to Cuba, Antoun lived for revolution.

A son of the diaspora, he was born in Bogata, Colombia in 1909 to a family from Bethlehem. Revolutionary blood coursed through his veins. He fought against Americans in Mexico's Las Segovia battle, relocated to Honduras in 1932, and then to France and before moving to Palestine to fight and execute operations during the Arab revolt of 1936 with Abdulqader Al-Husseini. From there, he traveled to Cuba to fight alongside Che Guevara and Fidel Castro at the dawn of the Cuban revolution. Antoun followed Che to Bolivia, where the revolution continued, and Che fell as a martyr of the revolution. In his revolutionary life, Antoun met with Mao Zedong and Ho Chi Minh before his burial in Kuwait on this day in 1969, draped in a Palestinian flag. He was martyred as he was born: planning for the revolution.

Antoun's riveting story is one that competes with even the most astounding movie plots, but his life of revolution is as real as the struggles for which he fought.

Antoun was a pilot and a solider. In Mexico, he earned the rank of Captain due to his courage in the battle of the Las Segovia mountains, where he led machine gun squads. In Honduras two years later, he had founded a commercial airline.

Upon his return to his homeland, he first worked as a spy, since he told the immigration officer he was Jewish as soon as he got off the boat. He infiltrated the Palestine Mandate Police, where he worked as an agent for the revolutionaries. He would cover for them, help prisoners, and inform fighters of British plans. Despite hesitation due to his poor Arabic, Antoun joined the 1936 Revolution as it erupted, working as a spy within the comprador Palestine Police Force.
"Liberators of peoples must struggle within the lands they intend to liberate. Wars are not won from behind desks." (2/3)

Antoun learned the ins and outs of the American consulate, discovering through Haganah members that zionist political and military forces were under the command of the Jewish Agency. His plan was meticulous, crafted with precision to ensure he knew who would be present. Antoun slept in the consulate that night, keeping a close eye on American zionist soldiers. After secretly listening to meetings, he contacted Abdulqader Al-Husseini—he knew what had to be done.

March 11th 1948.
Antoun passed through four Jewish checkpoints and two British ones. He planted barrel after barrel, tricking guards into thinking he was transporting American officers. They saw no one in the car. "Arab! Arab! Arab!" It was too late.

Antoun threw two bombs. Neither exploded. Undeterred, he drew two pistols and fired two shots, leaving an officer dead on the spot. He continued to hit soldiers, knowing time was running out and the explosives hadn't yet detonated. In a quick dash, Antoun rolled under a zionist armored vehicle and found himself on the main street, quickly moving to safety.

Boom. The Jewish Agency was turned to rubble under the force of Antoun's explosives. He had succeeded in destroying a booby-trapped fortress of zionist documents guarded by Haganah death squads. 250 tons of explosives had been detonated in front of the American consul, for whom he worked as a driver. 40 zionists were killed and 40 more were injured, with damage extending as far as the Jerusalem Post.

Antoun left safely, pistols loaded. He slyly told some zionist guards it was the British who had blown up the building.

He was not done yet. His fight was not over.
A lifelong struggle. (3/3)

From Yaffa to Al-Quds then onto Bethlehem. Back to Al-Quds. Antoun was home. He was in Palestine, fighting for her liberation. He accomplished what he set out to do. After the operation, he went to Areeha, then Nablus, where he ate some knafeh. His journey led him to Birzeit to meet commander Abdulqader.

Antoun was forced to leave home yet again because of risks to his life. However, he carried the sprit of struggle with him until his end. After the Nakba, he traveled to Cuba in 1950, becoming part of the first cell of the incipient and victorious Cuba revolution with Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. A specialist in guerilla warfare, Antoun accompanied Guevara to Bolivia in the 1960s.

He made several visits to Vietnam and China, conducting interviews with revolutionary leaders in Asia, particularly Mao Zedong. After a long journey in struggle, he returned once again to his homeland. There, he chose to join the PFLP under Dr. George Habash's leadership, because he believed in the value of its scientific socialist approach.

After the 1967 Naksa, Antoun planned a major operation with the PFLP to deal a severe blow to the zionist entity. Fate had other plans, and his time ended before his wish could be realized.

While visiting family in Kuwait, Antoun completed his tour of revolution and passed away, but his story lives. And the revolution lives, fueled by stories of courage like Antoun's. From Colombia to Cuba, from Bethlehem to Yaffa, from homeland to global struggle, Antoun's story is unbounded by borders and indelibly etched in the history of revolution.
🟢 Hamas Spokesperson Hazem Qassem on the one year anniversary of the Unity of the Fields battle:

On this day, we remember with great pride and honor the esteemed leaders of Saraya Al-Quds, the martyr Commander Taysir al-Jabari and the martyr Commander Khaled Mansour, as well as all the martyrs of the Saraya and the martyrs of our Palestinian people who watered the land of Palestine with their pure blood in the battle of the Unity of the Fields, where they confronted the zionist aggression on Gaza last year.

The righteous martyrs played a significant role in enhancing joint work with all factions of the resistance, particularly the Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, in all arenas, strengthening the path of resistance in confronting the fascist occupation that will disappear from our land and sanctities through the unity and steadfastness of the resistance fighters and their firm determination.
⚫️ Saraya Al-Quds:

The leader in the Islamic Jihad Movement, Khader Habib, confirmed today, Saturday, that the "Unity of the Fields" [battle] has proven the ability of Saraya Al-Quds and the resistance to strike deep into the enemy's territory and cost it dearly for its foolishness and terrorism against our people and leaders.

Habib told Al-Saraya website, "The Islamic Jihad raised this name, believing in the necessity of the unity of the battlefields on the basis that this battle is not only our people's battle, but it is the battle of the nation, and the nation should have an active participation in it."

Habib stressed that the slogan and the name had a positive impact on the future of the conflict with the enemy, explaining that the enemy is concerned about the consequences of this slogan, especially since many battlefields are moving towards Palestine and preparing themselves to fight with it.

Habib added that this battle is distinctive in its name and title, and through the performance of Saraya Al-Quds, which fought this round alone, its fighters translated that with their rockets and shells that did not stop for 55 hours in bombarding the settlements and occupied cities.

The PIJ leader continued, saying, "The unity of the fields means continuing the fight until the enemy disappears from our land, and undoubtedly the main objective of the Islamic Jihad and the Palestinian resistance is the liberation of Palestine, especially since our enemy does not only threaten the Palestinian people but poses a direct and significant threat to all the battlefields and the entire Arab and Islamic nation."

Habib further stated that this entity has no space or presence in this region until security and safety are restored to it, and the disappearance of the enemy depends on the joint efforts of the battlefields until Palestine returns to its Arab and Islamic embrace.

He mentioned that the battle thwarted the enemy's plans to neutralize the resistance and show that it is incapable of implementing what it says. It also thwarted its attempts to weaken the popular cradle for the resistance and reinforced the settlers' lack of confidence in their fragile political and military leadership.

Saraya Al-Quds launched the "Unity of the Fields" battle in response to the assassination of its leaders, Taysir Al-Ja'bari, the commander of the northern region and a member of the military council, and Khaled Mansour, the commander of the southern region and a member of the military council, along with a number of fighters.

During the fifty hours of the battle, Saraya Al-Quds launched about 1,000 rockets and shells. By Sunday afternoon (7/8), its fighters launched a barrage of 100 rockets at once towards the occupied territories, targeting towns including Bir Sabe’, “Palmachim,” and “Sderot.”

At that time, Saraya Al-Quds announced that it targeted all 58 settlements in the Gaza envelope simultaneously, leading to the power outage in 10 settlements due to a missile hitting a power line.

The aggression resulted in the martyrdom of 49 people, including 19 children and four women, and more than 360 citizens were injured, some critically with cases of amputation, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
