🚨 The zionist “Minister of National Security” “Ben-Gvir,” has issued instructions to the occupation Prison Service to reduce the visits of families of security prisoners from the West Bank to once every two months instead of once a month, starting from next…
Fearing an escalation, Netanyahu decides to postpone Ben-Gvir's decision to reduce prisoners' family visits until after the Jewish holidays in the beginning of October. Ben-Gvir's decision sparked widespread anger in the prisoners' movement, and prisoners plan to go on a mass hunger strike on Thursday, September 14th to protest it.
Ben-Gvir's office released a statement today rejecting Netanyahu's decision and plans to go ahead with the escalatory move, sparking a debate between the two offices.

Brothers in Arms: Martyrs of Resistance and Oslo's Betrayal (1/3):
Today's story of resistance concerns two brothers, a changing landscape, and lessons from the past.
The brothers, commanders Adel and Imad Awadallah, were each other's right arm. They led the Al-Qassam Brigades, inflicting fear upon the enemy for years, especially in 1996 when 49 zionists were killed in one week in the "Sacred Revenge" series of operations avenging Yahya Ayyash.
On this day in 1998, they were martyred on a farm, besieged by special forces in Al-Khalil. After hours of armed clashes, they ascended gloriously.
No one knew their fate for 16 years.
This is their story.
From Al-Bireh, Adel and Imad joined the Al-Qassam Brigades in their youth, quickly advancing in the ranks and becoming leaders in Ramallah. When the mastermind engineer Yahya Ayyash was martyred at the hands of zionists in January 1996, they sought to avenge his death in a series of painful anti-colonial operations.
Adel and Imad were the #1 most wanted in the West Bank, not only by the occupation but also by its lapdog, the Palestinian Authority. For three years, Adel and Imad hid from them both. All who visited their home were arrested, and the PA launched a massive arrest campaign of Hamas cadre.
In August 1998, Imad was kidnapped by the PA and tortured in Areeha prison. In a heroic escape, he liberated himself from prison despite solitary confinement, but was tracked by the PA, who planted an electronic device on him.
Adel, on the other hand, was still a fugitive. Clinging to his aspirations of his people's imminent liberation, he continued to orchestrate resistance operations. During one of them, forces of the Palestinian Authority opened fire on a Renault 9 car, believing him to be inside with his family, unconcerned with the casualties. The PA Forces ended up killing an unrelated Palestinian woman instead, in a move reminiscent of the PA's thuggish behavior today, like their assassination of martyrs Nizar Banat, Mohammed Al-Banna, and Abdel Qader Zaqdah.

Brothers in Arms (2/3):
Three years, and all the forces of the PA and occupation could not catch them. In a video, Adel stated that he does not want revenge against those who kill him, but only revenge against the zionist entity. This sentiment is repeated by the resistance today, who understands that bloodshed with brothers serves the enemy, even in light of the atrocities committed by the PA. "Our guns do not see except the minarets of Al-Quds;" Dr. Ramadan Shallah's eminent quote is repeated in various forms by the factions today.
On this day in 1998, the IOF claimed to have assassinated both Adel and Imad, right after the PA tracked Imad after his prison escape. Their fate was unknown, whether they were arrested or martyred. Despite torture being used on them both, they refused to confess and refused to provide information about their fellow resistance fighters.
In 2014, the IOF released their bodies, received by a crowd of thousands who never forgot the legacy of the heroic brothers. Adel was wearing the same shirt, 16 years after his martyrdom.
When they were martyred, the Oslo Accords were just five years old. Today, as we approach the 30th anniversary of the ill-fated Accords, the PA's position on liberation has not changed; rather, it has more deeply entrenched itself in normalization and betrayal.
In the year of Adel and Imad's martyrdom, the so-called separation wall did not exist. The geography of the land was markedly different; Palestinians were connected to their land, and colonial checkpoints were a ghost of what they are now. Watchtowers were smaller. Pegasus and Blue Wolf were non-existent. The surveillance state was not as present.

Brothers in Arms: Martyrs of Resistance and Oslo's Betrayal (3/3):
In 2023, mobility is not so easy. Thus, the strategies of the resistance had to change to reflect this. A new strategy has been adopted, in Jenin, in Nablus, in Tulkarem, Al-Khalil, and Areeha, quickly spreading to all parts of Palestine: there is no free entry, and if you enter, we will burn you. While some resistance fighters venture into the interior to send their message, this cohesive strategy has proven to be effective in the last two years.
Today, we not only approach the 30th anniversary of Oslo, but also the one year anniversary of the kidnapping by the PA of Musab Shtayyeh, who, like Adel and Imad, was also the most wanted man in the West Bank. Shtayyeh, the link between the West Bank and Gaza, is a member of the Lions' Den and Al-Qassam Brigades. He has been subjected to torture, under the guise of kidnapping him "for protection," a bold-faced and recurring PA lie.
Despite the setback of his continued abduction orchestrated by the US and zionists, resistance persists. Today's youth face both the PA and the occupation, avenging martyr after martyr in their operations. They understand that we face two enemies: the zionist entity and the Authority that "participates in our annihilation," in the words of Basil.
This story provides one lesson: The PA is a collaborating arm of the occupation, and it too must be refused. Basil taught us, "Every Palestinian must understand that any confrontation with the Authority is not a confrontation with a Palestinian, but a confrontation with a tool of the occupation," a quote that rings clear considering the context of Musab's arrest: PA repression led to clashes, and he raised his gun to defend himself without knowing if the aggressor was the IOF or PA. This simple ambiguity paradoxically creates clarity to understand the reality of the Palestinian situation.
Down with Oslo and the PA! Down with the zionist entity!
Resistance persists, united and advancing, until the dismantling of all oppressors.

Violent confrontations break out in Azzun, #Qalqilya after the a large number of zionist forces stormed the town following a number of stone-throwing incidents earlier today.
The IOF is blocking ambulances, storming homes barbarically, and firing stun grenades at youth, who are responding with explosive devices.

Fierce confrontations continue in Azzun, #Qalqilya, where resistant youth target zionist forces with several explosive devices (Video #1). The IOF began firing tear gas at residents' homes.
After his abduction by the IOF last week, the IOF sentenced Alaa Al-Araj to administrative detention without charge or trial for six months.
Alaa was arrested in April of this year, but the occupation was forced to release him. In 2021, he went on a heroic 103 day hunger strike to snatch his freedom. The martyr Khader Adnan and prisoner Maher Al-Akhras (who is on his 19th day of hunger strike) are shown here supporting him during this arduous time. #FreeThemAll

🚨 BREAKING: Armed clashes have broken out in #Jenin after special forces of the IOF invaded from multiple directions. The IOF has deployed snipers within residents' homes, such as the home of martyr Sidqi Zakarneh.

The IOF has fully withdrawn from #Jenin after arresting Abdullah Zakarneh (17 years old). Abdullah is the brother of the heroic martyr Sidqi Zakarneh.
Resistance News Network rejects the detached “intellectuals” who have rushed to the defense of the zionist camp.
In the past day, a number of Palestinian careerists and NGO contributors have signed an open letter condemning comprador Mahmoud Abbas.
The condemnation of the US- and zionist-backed Abbas was not for the deaths of revolutionaries like Nizar Banat. The letter did not mention the Palestinians currently languishing in PA prisons, nor did the letter even broach the subject of continued PA security coordination with the zionists.
Instead, the letter charged that Mahmoud Abbas is antisemitic following comments he made about the validity of the exploited Holocaust narrative. Whether this charge is true or not does not matter; the signatories of this letter had nothing to say when Abbas sold the land and blood of Palestinians to the enemy.
The stratagem of such a statement, which was endorsed by zionists, is evident in the signatories and their sponsors. They have all interacted with the tentacles of J Street and liberal zionist networks. It is widely known that Mahmoud Abbas does not represent the Palestinian liberation movement. However, because normalizers and zionists are invested in the PA, they express a need to steer it and critique it according to their shared agendas. Only they hold the PA valid, while liberators insist on its dismantlement.
There is no further analysis to be had on this subject. The long-rejected burden of defense against charges of antisemitism is unjustly imposed on Palestinians facing occupation by Jewish supremacists. Those writers who rushed to the aid of zionists, parroting their talking points, made their position and their hypocrisy clear. In the context of revolutionary knowledge and thought, there can be no tolerance for betrayal or compromise.

Armed clashes broke out as the IOF invaded Aqabat Jaber camp in #Areeha this morning after the resistance discovered a special force. The IOF broke residents' vehicles and destroyed their homes. Three Palestinians were wounded, including a child. One was arrested.
