On the occasion of what would have been his 24th birthday, #Nablus unveils a memorial to heroic martyr Husam Aslim, the executor of the "Shavei Shomron" operation, and a leader of both the Lions' Den and Saraya Al-Quds - Nablus Brigade.

Husam ascended to martyrdom in a heroic armed clash in late February of this year along with Mohammed Abu Bark (Al-Junaidi), giving his will via a voice recording in which he quoted directly from martyr Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi's will. 11 martyrs ascended in the massacre. Husam also wrote a touching will with five directives to his family, the resistance, and his people.

Husam and Mohammed's martyrdom was avenged with the Huwara operation a week later, in which two settlers were killed by Al-Qassam martyr Abdelfattah Kharousha during the traitorous Aqaba summit.

As for Abdelfattah, he was martyred during the Jenin massacre two weeks afterward, as he headed to the camp from Nablus as a safe haven. His funeral was attacked by the forces of the Palestinian Authority. Further, the Palestinian Authority kidnapped a number of Palestinians because they donated to a home for Husam Aslim's family last month.

The Azzun Phenomenon:
Our attentive readers may have noticed updates every now and then about settlers being injured by stones or Molotovs in the modest town of Azzun, #Qalqilya: a simple search yields about 60 such reported operations in the last year.

These operations, while simple, turn out to be very effective at shattering settler security. Azzun's stone-throwing prowess is not a coincidence; in fact, the choice to carry out these operations here is a strategic one.

The town of just 8,000 residents and 9 km squared—which has offered 80 prisoners and five martyrs in recent years (as of 9/16/23)—is located at a historically important crossroads. Yet, this small town has become a nightmare for settlers.

In August, at least 25 settlers were wounded by such operations in Azzun alone, rivaling injuries of resistance strongholds such as Jenin and Nablus. Last week there, four settlers were wounded and nearly a dozen of their cars were destroyed in one day.

Settlers here are specifically targeted on a major vein of zionist infrastructure: settler bypass road Route 55, passing through Azzun. This road has actually been around since 300 BC. It was established formally in 1935, and this racist road was blocked often by Palestinians during the first intifada. As a result, the occupation built a number of alternative bypass roads. In 2002 amidst the second intifada, it became a settler bypass road, with its purpose being to give settlers a Jewish-only detour such that they can avoid the apparent danger of Palestinian areas.

This stone-throwing has become a major problem for the occupation, who increased its security on Qalqilya for almost two months now, arresting a number of alleged stone-throwers. Today, the steadfast resistance of Azzun continue to create nightmares for settlers despite the siege, shattering their glass, destroying their cars, and targeting them with rudimentary explosive devices made at home. In all forms, resistance increases, and Azzun marches on the path of Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarem, and Gaza.

The IOF brutally attacked Palestinian worshippers who confronted settlers at Bab Al-Silsila, one of the gates of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, who were desecrating its sanctity.

Among the worshippers are Nafeesa Khweis, Aida Al-Saydaawi, and the elderly Abu Bakr Al-Shaymi.

Meanwhile, about 238 settlers have stormed the courtyards of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque up to this moment.

Occupation forces are directly targeting press crews during confrontations in northern #Gaza. Two journalists, Fadi Al-Danaf and Bilal Al-Sabbagh, have been injured after being hit with gas bombs.

Dozens of youth are currently burning tires at the colonial fence.
