In the second assassination attempt of Hamas-aligned politicians in #AlKhalil in just three days, masked gunmen opened fire on municipal council member Abulkareem Farrah. After shooting him, the gunmen burned his vehicle.
"This is the cost of defending Al-Khalil and fighting corruption" were the Abdulkareem's first words as he was being transported to the hospital.
This comes three days after Fatah-affiliated gunmen opened fire on deputy mayor Dr. Asma Al-Sharbati and her husband's clinic. Despite that the perpetrators are known, they walk free, and even opened fire on the clinic again 24 hours later. As the Palestinian Authority escalates its arrest campaign of resistance fighters and students, they are silent when those loyal to them create chaos with intimidation and threats.

🟢 The Islamic Bloc at Birzeit University issued a statement after eight cadre were abducted last night by the IOF, weeks after some were released from PA prisons:
—
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, the Elevator of the Believers and the Humiliator of the wrongdoers, and peace and blessings be upon the leader of the mujahideen and furthermore: “Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near.”
The Islamic Bloc at Birzeit University exalts to the masses of our people and our nation, the martyrs of confrontation of heroes: the martyr hero Aseed Abu Ali and the martyr hero Abdulrahman Abu Daghsh, who ascended at dawn today in the battle of Nour Shams camp. We send salutations of pride and honor and renew allegiance to the victorious resistance of all its factions, who confronted the invasion columns heroically, and left the occupation disappointed, carrying its wounds and dragging its damaged vehicles at the hands of the lions of the camp.
O our family of Birzeit University... to all the masses of our people:
Alongside the crime of the occupation and its aggression on Nour Shams camp, the occupation forces stormed the campus of the university at dawn today, wreaking havoc and arresting several of our student brothers:
Abdulmajid Hassan, the Head of the Student Council,
Abdullah Mohammad, the Secretary of the Specializations Committee,
Ahmed Aweidat, the Secretary of the Sports Committee,
Amro Khalil, coordinator of the Islamic Bloc,
Yahya Qasem, member of the Student Council,
Hassan Alwan, member of the Student Council,
Mahmoud Nakhleh, the former Secretary of the Cooperative Work Committee,
Brother Abdullah Abu Qayas.
In light of this major targeting, we affirm the following:
First: We condemn the savage invasion of the university campus by the occupation army and the vandalism of the Student Council headquarters, and in the meantime call on all institutions and legal and human rights bodies to stand up to their responsibilities in condemning the aggression of the occupation, criminalizing it, and pursuing it.
Oh, you who blow on the sun to extinguish it, your strength has wilted and the moon did not turn to you, our message to the occupation and its agents is: arrest whoever you wish and threaten as you wish, for a student arm rooted in Hamas and its resistance Al-Qassam will not be frightened by your arrests nor be deterred by your threats.
Second: The blades of the occupation were broken on the blades of the Palestinian Security Forces on our chests, and the shelter of the arrested brothers at dawn today in the university campus was but a protection from the evil of the Authority’s Security Forces, their persecution, and torture. And still, our brothers Mu'tasim Arman, Osama Omar, and Yusuf Halayqa are detained in the security prisons of the Authority under the weight of torture and abuse. Here we renew our demand to the Security Forces of the Authority to release our detained colleagues and to stop pursuing students and pressuring them.
Third: We assure all Birzeit students and the masses of our people, that the Islamic Bloc has been, still is, and will remain, God willing, the vanguard of national and syndicate action, and the coming days will prove that the blows of the occupation and the Authority will only increase our firmness and strength, and Birzeit students will again be assured that their trust when they chose the Islamic Bloc was in its place, and we will continue, with God's help, our creativity and our national and syndicate activity, no matter the sacrifices.
"We are fought by a brother or an enemy... We will win alone and they will regret."

From point blank, a precise joint operation recorded in the saga of Palestinian struggle. On this day 19 years ago:
From point blank, a precise joint operation recorded in the saga of Palestinian struggle.
The operation: The Conquest of Khaybar Martyrdom Operation.
The date: September 23, 2004 at 4:00 AM.
The location: "Morag" settlement, southern Gaza.
Factions: Saraya Al-Quds, Al-Nasser Salah Al-Din Brigades, the Martyr Ahmed Abu Al-Rish Brigades (a Fatah offshoot).
The fighters: Mohammed Al-Azazi, Emad Abu Samhadana, Yousef Omar.
The outcome: Three soldiers killed with AK-47s and explosive devices, including a high ranking officer. Several IOF injuries.
The masterminds behind the operation were the leaders, martyrs Mohammed Al-Sheikh Khalil (Abu Khalil) of PIJ and Jamal Abu Samhadana (Abu Ataya) of the Popular Resistance Committees, who monitored the settlement to plan and prepare a qualitative operation. Abu Ataya selected the finest youth for the operation.
The fighters were dropped off 200 meters from the site. Taking advantage of the fog, the heroic martyrs crossed into "Morag" through a gap prepared in the fence. After planting explosives, they first stormed the watchtowers, the "heart" of the settlement. They found them empty, so they stormed the barracks and dining halls where soldiers were just waking up to eat at 7:00 AM. Two soldiers were killed in their sleeping quarters. Explosives rang in the dining hall.
Our heroes engaged in a ferocious armed clash, luring the zionist support forces into an elaborate ambush. Emad and Yousef fought for about an hour until their martyrdom...Mohammed waited in the shadows. He asked the leadership to continue the clash, but it was decided to continue the ambush.
The zionist enemy believed the coast to be clear. Mohammed lay in wait, but the enemy started going the opposite direction. Mohammed demonstrated exemplary steadfastness and patience at this time. A tank approached, and he requested to blow it up, but Abu Khalil told him to wait for the trucks that follow the tank, usually loaded with soldiers.
Mohammed waited. The truck came. He detonated his explosives...But due to the action of IOF bulldozers during their earlier search, the wires were cut and no explosion happened. The zionist enemy still believed the area to be empty. Zionist media announced the end of the operation.
A press conference took place at the site hours later. The lion Mohammed was still waiting eagerly for his prey. He pounced, raining bullets on zionist soldiers, ascending as a martyr to meet his resisting brothers Emad and Yousef.
The operation was marked by its precision and inclusion of fighters from across the Palestinian spectrum. Joint operations were effective during the intifada, embracing Palestinian unity.
Then and now, the entire Palestinian spectrum resists, determined to expel the enemy and liberate their lands.

Imprisoned leader Sheikh Maher Al-Akhras sent a message from his cell to Al-Manar, a channel that is part of the resistance media network, from "a steadfast people that will not be broken."
Sheikh Maher expresses his confidence in the impending victory, taking lessons from the victory of Lebanon when the heroes of the south expelled the zionist occupation and wiped their noses in the dust again just a few years later.
Maher is a firm believer in the unity of the resistance and the approach of the resistance axis, as can be seen in the linked videos: "We raise our children to love Palestine and to love those who love Palestine, to love the resistance and the resistance fighters."
"They are trying to silence me, just as they silenced Sheikh Khader Adnan." Maher faces repeated assassination threats from the the zionist prison service.
10 days ago, Sheikh Maher suspended his hunger strike on the 23rd day after baseless charges were brought against him. His court session is set for October 26th. #FreeThemAll

🔴 The Deputy Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine gave an interview today for Al-Mayadeen following his meeting with the heads of Hamas and PIJ in Beirut. Highlights below:
—
All support, backing, and salutations to the resistance fighters on the fields across Palestinian lands.
The meeting held today between the leaders of Hamas, Jihad, and the Popular Front came at a crucial time, as the occupation government seeks to continue settlements and violations against Palestinian sanctities.
The occupied West Bank is the main axis and battlefield against the zionist enemy.
Escalating resistance and the decision taken by core forces to escalate it against zionist criminality is extremely important, and we are with escalating resistance as we are in confrontation with the enemy that occupies our land.
It is necessary to enhance field unity and explore forming an umbrella and reference for all resistance fighters regardless of affiliation. Field unity and doubling strength elements is a strategic task for the Popular Front.
We have no choice but to escalate the resistance, as a core pillar to harm the arrogant enemy, who feeds on the blood of our Palestinian people.
The options of negotiations and settlements have been tried a lot, and brought nothing to our people but more disappointments and collapses.
The choice of resistance and field and national unity, which strengthens the Palestinian people on their land, is the way to our victory over the zionist enemy.
The PLO is a Palestinian framework we adhere to as the sole representative of the Palestinian people, but it needs to be rebuilt. The decisions issued by the PLO remained ink on paper without ways to implement them.
The policy of the occupation and its distribution of illusions to settlers cannot pass, whether on the Palestinian people, or the Arab and Islamic nations, and we consider it playing with fire.
The Palestinian presence in the camps of Lebanon and the diaspora is a source of annoyance to the enemy and those behind him. There are attempts to liquidate the issue of Palestinian refugees, as the camps in Lebanon and Syria represent a symbol of the refugee issue.
Ain Al-Hilweh camp represents the capital of the diaspora camps, and targeting this camp is not a coincidence, but there is a real plan targeting it. Lebanon is not far from the conspiracy plotted against Palestine; as long as there is resistance, conspiracies, and plans will not stop trying to end it.
The occupation's attempts to quash the Palestinian resistance will not cease. It believes that its incursions and arrests can weaken the resistance, but it is clear that resistance is regenerating, with hundreds of young people joining. The martyrs and the blood shed are igniting it.
Heroic operations are increasing, constantly renewing, and they cause confusion for the zionist enemy.
We saw large numbers of occupation forces storming Jenin and other cities, but the occupation was surprised by the quality of bombs that induced fear in it and changed its calculations.
The qualitative development of the resistance in the West Bank adds new elements to it; the resistance grows and expands day by day, possessing quality weapons capable of inflicting losses on the enemy.
Our battle with the enemy is long and requires accumulation, development, and gathering strength from all resistance fighters to achieve victory over the enemy. The resistance has made an irreversible strategic decision; it will not stop, and it is moving towards continuous development, searching for capabilities to harm the enemy.
Palestinians should not comply with any attempts at normalization in exchange for certain bribes or specific privileges.
If some believe that complying and making agreements with the enemy can protect their thrones, we say that Arab peoples will not accept this cancerous body in their region.
