🟡🟢 An officer in Hezbollah's operations room:
—
This battle is taking place. The process of entering Al-Jalil is not incidental, but it is one of the most important methods or plans that the Islamic Resistance (Hezbollah) planned for.
In reality, we are confident about this capability due to the experiences we have gone through in this field. I say, and I am responsible for my words, that we will see—and we will witness in the coming war—"israeli" soldiers abandoning some positions and fleeing them at the beginning of the war. If we want to compare, this happened during the occupation when we began, especially after Aaramta when a large amount of explosives was brought into a site and detonated in 2000.
Therefore, today, we are facing sites that will turn into graveyards for the enemy and enemy soldiers. If they want to remain in those positions, let them. If they don’t want to, that's another matter.
What is for certain is that the situation is different. The war, or the war that the Islamic Resistance will wage in the coming years will certainly not be waged in the traditional manner that we had adopted.
The ways the enemy previously relied on, meaning occupying the land [wouldn’t work today]. Let him [now try to] occupy the land. I believe the enemy is deterred from entering Lebanese territories. The enemy is genuinely deterred from doing so.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
“And if you are killed in the cause of Allah or die - then forgiveness from Allah and mercy are better than whatever they accumulate [of worldly wealth].”
With all the signs of faith in the decree and destiny of Allah, Saraya Al-Quds, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine, mourns to the sons of our Palestinian people, our Arab and Islamic nation, a heroic martyr from its steadfast knights, the martyr:
Ahmed Adel Atiya Abu Ramadan - Abu Malik. (27 years old)
One of the fighters of Saraya Al-Quds in the Central Brigade, from the city of Deir Al-Balah.
Who ascended on Saturday, 25 Muharram 1445 AH, corresponding to August 12 2023 AD, after a mistake occurred while cleaning the weapon. He departs to his Lord after a life journey dedicated to jihad for the sake of Allah and defending our people against the criminal zionist occupation.
We in Saraya Al-Quds consider our martyr as one of the distinguished fighters who tirelessly resisted and sacrificed, leaving his mark and impact on the resistance and liberation project.
We ask Allah, the Almighty, to accept him among the martyrs, to grant him the highest level of Paradise, and to grant patience and solace to his family. We pledge to him and all the departed that we will remain guardians of the weapon's trust, the path of jihad, and the resistance until the freedom of all of Palestine.
To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.

At a zionist military site on the Lebanese-Palestinian border hangs the images of three heroic Arab martyrs, linking our common struggle against imperialism.
• Mohammed Salah of Egypt, who was martyred on June 3rd after infiltrating the Palestinian-Egyptian border and killing three IOF soldiers.
• Ahmad Ali Qassas of Lebanon, martyred last week while protecting a Hezbollah weapons convoy with arms to attack the zionist entity. Assassinated by Christian fascist militiamen.
• Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi of Palestine, the Lion of Nablus, who planted the seeds for the current stage of resistance in the West Bank.

Zionist sources reveal that two weeks ago, a 3D weapons printing laboratory was raided in Al-Khalil. A number of fully functional weapons were found, and eight printers and 65 printing rolls used were seized.
This comes within the context of the IOF's ongoing campaign against weapons manufacturing sites, which don't seem to be reducing in number despite 42 separate raids in the last five months.
This development is evidence of new innovations employed by the Palestinian people to circumvent the occupation. The trend is by no means new; Palestinians have been manufacturing homemade firearms like the beloved Carlo for decades.
It comes at a time in which weapons and ammo prices are at an all-time high, forcing weapons sales for the resistance to be handled via the black market with exorbitant prices, often with deliveries to the West Bank coming from the occupied interior. Read more about where the weapons of the West Bank come from here.
The existence of such a laboratory signals the adaptability and resilience of the resistance in the region. Certainly, what is hidden is greater, and the surprises will continue to emerge.

Today, we remember. Tal Al-Zaatar. Hill of Thyme, where 3,000 Palestinians were martyred by zionist-backed Christian militias.
"I am Ahmad, the Arab.
I am the bullet, the orange, the memories,
And I found myself close to myself,
So I distanced myself from the dew and the maritime scene,
Tal Al-Zaatar, the tent,
And I am the homeland that came and inhabited me,
And I am the constant journey to the homeland,
And I found myself filled with myself..."
The tragedy of Tal El Zaatar is one of darkest chapters written in the history of the liberation for Palestine. It is a crime that was committed against people who had been already dispossessed, displaced, murdered, and forgotten. It was an attempt to dispossess, displace, murder, and forget them again.
The Tal El Zaatar refugee camp for Palestinian refugees was established in 1950, an UNRWA administered refugee camp for Palestinian refugees in northeastern Beirut. The area housed, alongside Palestinian refugees, a Lebanese working class, the majority of whom had come to work under harsh conditions from the southern regions of Lebanon. The population of the area was 25,000, half of whom were Palestinians.
"I haven’t washed my blood from the bread of my enemies,
But every time my steps cross a path,
Both distant and close roads flee.
Every time I approach a capital, it throws a bag at me.
So, I take refuge on the pavement of dreams and poetry.
How much I walk toward my dream, only to be outraced by daggers.
Oh, my dream and Rome!
Beautiful you are in exile,
Dead you are in Rome,
And Haifa, from here it began,
And Ahmad, the ascent of [Mount] Carmel,
With the blessing of dew, native thyme, and home."

"I ascend from the eyes of those coming to the sunset of the plain,
I ascend from the vegetable boxes,
And the strength of things, I ascend,
I belong to my first sky and to the poor in all alleys,
They chant:
We are steadfast,
And steadfast,
And steadfast."
On April 13, 1975, an assassination attempt targeted Pierre Gemayel, the leader of the fascist Christian Kataeb Party. Gemayel accused Palestinians of being behind it. On the same day and in the same area, the Kataeb Party targeted a bus in Ain El-Rummaneh heading to the Tal El Zaatar camp, opening fire on its passengers killing 27 people. This would be the start of 15 years of bloodshed in Lebanon after the right-wing parties in Lebanon announced their war on Palestinian presence and the Lebanese parties allied with them.
The siege on the camp began in January of 1976. On June 17th, fascist forces began their attack on Tal El Zaatar. More than 8,000 bombs fell on the camp that day. Electricity, water, and roads were cut off. Hundreds of civilians were martyred or injured. On August 12th, a large attack started following Syria's entry. All kinds of atrocities were carried out, with indiscriminate killing of women, children, and elderly. Women were raped, and pregnant mothers had their bellies cut.
The survivors tell countless stories and testimonies.
A Kataeb fighter asked a Palestinian nurse for his name, and he replied: "Elias."
The fighter said, "Palestinian, and named Elias too!"
He shot him, leading to his martyrdom. ("The Siege of Tal El Zaatar: Testimonies and Analysis" by Ali Hussein Khalaf, 1976.)

"Venture into your blood, prepared for your dispersal,
And venture into my blood, united in your siege,
There's no time for exile..."
Zionism is an ideology. It can come by white supremacist foreigners, of people of color with a superiority complex, and sometimes, at the hands of your own people divided by colonial borders, driven by colonial mindsets. In any case, the crimson innocent blood spilled was the same. The losses were large, but to portray the people of the camp as victims waiting to be slaughtered is unfair to their memory. The camp fought with all might against the fascist forces. The resilience and fight for life were the same.
Um Nabil, 45, mother of ten:
"I was preparing bread for the fighters with a group of women from the camp when I learned of the martyrdom of my son Kayed, 22 years old. I went to the place where his body lay, kissed him, left him, and returned without telling his brothers so as not to shatter their determination.
"A week later, I learned and endured the martyrdom of my son Fares, 25 years old. The heart of a mother couldn't bear more. I endured in silence because I was a role model for the mothers of martyrs. My son Nabil left through the mountain path. Until this day, I haven't heard anything about him.
"They stormed the camp while my son Khaled (14) and I were inside. They separated the men and took the girls, conducting a humiliating search of the women. A patrol came by and asked me where I got a child like him, as he was fair-haired with green eyes while I was dark-skinned. They said, 'It's a shame for Palestinians to have someone like him.'
I answered them defiantly, with a loud voice, 'He is Palestinian, he is my son, and the son of Palestine.'
"As soon as I finished speaking, they fired on him. I didn't flinch; I stood my ground. They ordered me to step on him, but I refused and told them I know this ending, and this is our destiny. We will never kneel, as long as we still have a baby who needs to be nursed."
(From "Beirut Beirut", Sana Allah Ibrahim - 1984.)

"The camp was Ahmad's body,
Damascus was Ahmad's eyelids,
Hijaz was Ahmad's shadows,
The siege became Ahmad's passage over the hearts of millions,
The captives [of Ahmad].
The siege became Ahmad's attack,
And the sea, his final bullet!"
After the invasion, the camp was levelled to the ground. Perhaps to feign that it was never even there.
It is estimated that over 3,000 people were murdered. Reports suggest that 2,200 of them were murdered on August 12th alone. There is an unknown number of missing people and people who were buried under the rubble. It's been 47 years. No one was ever held accountable for the Tal El-Zaatar Massacre. Justice was never brought. Had there not been survivors to tell their stories, perhaps it would have never been remembered.
After those who committed the crime, and the ones who stood and watched realized that all the attempts made to "justify" the bloodshed and evade accountability were vain, they sought to erase the memory of a camp of refugees who fought with its men, women, and children yet another Nakba.
We have a duty to bring these stories to light. We must remember. Otherwise, we are complicit in the same crime despite the time that has passed.
