Today, we remember a legendary operation and legendary martyrs. Today marks the 35th anniversary of the Night of the Gliders operation carried out by the Syrian Arab martyr Khaled Aker and the Tunisian Arab martyr Milood bin Al-Najjah on behalf of the PFLP-GC.
Our heroes flew into an IOF base in occupied Palestine on hang gliders all the way from Syrian-controlled South Lebanon armed with AK-47s, silenced pistols, and hand grenades. Aker was captured and martyred. Al-Najjah swept in, killing six IOF soldiers and injuring eight more as he fired his AK at the usurpers without mercy and hurled grenades into IOF tents.
These martyrs were hailed as heroes, and the slogan "six to one" or "6:1" became popular among Palestinians mocking settlers in Gaza. Just two weeks later, the first intifada was declared from Gaza, and this heroic operation undoubtedly sparked it.
Glory to our resistance!
Glory to our martyrs!

"If we abandon Palestine, then we abandon ourselves."
On the first anniversary of his passing, we remember our comrade, the revolutionary intellectual Samah Idriss. Samah, a Lebanese intellectual, was committed to the Palestinian cause for his entire life. He was a noble man who upheld the Arab and prisoner struggle, particularly surrounding Lebanese struggler Georges Abdallah and Palestinian leader Ahmed Saadat.
As the co-founder of the "Campaign to Boycott Supporters of 'israel'" in Lebanon 20 years ago, he had a vision of an expanded boycott hand-in-hand with resistance that makes zionism untenable wherever its blood-soaked hands may reach. Samah believed, “Popular boycott is part and parcel of 'total resistance,' that also includes armed resistance. Both forms of resistance, civil and armed, are complementary and should not be viewed as mutually exclusive."
Samah embodied the idea that resistance can be waged in all facets of life. His vision of a popular boycott is part of a blueprint for rejecting the entity not only through arms but by refusing to normalize it socially and economically as well. Samah taught us that being Palestinian is about struggling for liberation always.
Onwards on your path, Samah, towards Palestinian and Arab liberation.

Sheikh Nafez Azzam, PIJ leader, congratulates the family:
"We fully believe that the martyrs do not die and that they flourish during their lives and after their death. Life flourishes with them and the earth grows greener.
[The child] will be an extension of his father’s biography and jihad, and so that it would be a living translation of the immortal Qur’anic verse, "[those who are martyred] are not dead, but alive and provided for by their Lord
Khaled Mansour is alive and well, God willing, on earth and in the sky."
"Khaled" means "immortal".
And martyrs never die.
