Watch: Scenes from the operation of the Islamic Resistance targeting a group of “israeli” enemy soldiers in the vicinity of the Al-Marj site on the Lebanese-Palestinian border.

The eternal martyr Basil Al-Araj wrote abundantly before his ascension in March of 2017. In his posthumously published book, "I Have Found My Answers," (a line from his will) he spoke of war during the 2014 zionist aggression on Gaza, just prior to the IOF ground invasion on July 17.

Basil guided us with eight rules and insights on the nature of war. He wrote:
—
Since there is talk of a ground operation, several points must be considered:

1. The Palestinian resistance consists of guerrilla formations whose strategies follow the logic of guerrilla warfare or hybrid warfare, which Arabs and Muslims have become masters of through our experiences in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Gaza. War is never based on the logic of conventional wars and the defense of fixed points and borders; on the contrary, you draw the enemy into an ambush. You do not stick to a fixed position to defend it; instead, you perform maneuvers, movement, withdrawal, and attack from the flanks and the rear. So, never measure it against conventional wars.

2. The enemy will spread photos and videos of their invasion into Gaza, occupation of residential buildings, or presence in public areas and well-known landmarks. This is part of the psychological warfare in guerrilla wars; you allow your enemy to move as they wish so that they fall into your trap and you strike them. You determine the location and timing of the battle. So, you may see photos from Al-Katiba Square, Al-Saraya, Al-Rimal, or Omar Al-Mukhtar Street, but do not let this weaken your resolve. The battle is judged by its overall results, and this is merely a show.

3. Never spread the occupation's propaganda, and do not contribute to instilling a sense of defeat. This must be focused on, for soon, we will start talking about a massive invasion in Beit Lahia and Al-Nusseirat, for example. Never spread panic; be supportive of the resistance and do not spread any news broadcast by the occupation (forget about the ethics and impartiality of journalism; just as the zionist journalist is a fighter, so are you).

4. The enemy may broadcast images of prisoners, most likely civilians, but the goal is to suggest the rapid collapse of the resistance. Do not believe them.

5. The enemy will carry out tactical, qualitative operations to assassinate some symbols [of resistance], and all of this is part of psychological warfare. Those who have died and those who will die will never affect the resistance's system and cohesion because the structure and formations of the resistance are not centralized but horizontal and widespread. Their goal is to influence the resistance's support base and the families of the resistance fighters, as they are the only ones who can affect the men of the resistance.

6. Our direct human and material losses will be much greater than the enemy's, which is natural in guerrilla wars that rely on willpower, the human element, and the extent of patience and endurance. We are far more capable of bearing the costs, so there is no need to compare or be alarmed by the magnitude of the numbers.

7. Today's wars are no longer just wars and clashes between armies but rather are struggles between societies. Let us be like a solid structure and play a game of biting fingers with the enemy, our society against their society.

Finally, every Palestinian (in the broad sense, meaning anyone who sees Palestine as a part of their struggle, regardless of their secondary identities), every Palestinian is on the front lines of the battle for Palestine, so be careful not to fail in your duty.

Resistance begins with you. Shatter the walls surrounding your mind.
"Liberate your mind before the land," in the words of the revolutionary intellectual martyr Basil Al-Araj.

Basil calls on us to challenge to perceived invincibility of oppressive forces: their power comes not from their weapons, but from our own minds.

"Start with yourself." Take direct action to challenge oppression, as Basil did. Recognize your own capacity to create change. It is a battle to reclaim minds, dignity, and land.

Khaled Odetalah, in mourning Basil, said: "Basil did not call on us to be resistance fighters. Nor did he call on us to be revolutionaries. Basil told us to be true; that is all. If you are true, you will be revolutionaries and resistance fighters."

“Not a day has passed without an act of resistance; not a single day! The rate of resistance ebbs and flows, but always remains above the the zero line. Not once did it disappear, not for a single day in our history.”

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Almighty says, "Indeed, the believers are those who have believed in Allah and His Messenger and then have not doubted but have struggled with their wealth and their selves in the cause of Allah. Those are the truthful."

Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest.
Allah is greatest on all who oppress or are tyrannical. Allah is the greatest, O Balata of martyrs, revolution, and steadfastness. Allah is the greatest, O brothers of Al-Zoufi. Allah is the greatest, O stronghold of clashes, explosives, and ambushes.

In the shadow of the ongoing war on our brothers in Gaza of Hashem, and amidst the fierce attacks that target most cities of the West Bank and their camps, in the darkness of the night, a zionist military force attempted to invade the camp from the Itsilalat Roundabout.

As they tried to invade, the bullets and explosives of the honorable were waiting to take a step forward, so they fell into an elaborate ambush. We inform you, if the occupation can tell you what happened, then it must confess what happened to it in the alleys and lanes of the camp, and reveal the injuries in its ranks.

From here, we confirm the following:

1. Balata still keeps its promise made with the blood of its martyrs and witnessed by the alleys of the camp.
2. The land of the camp is forbidden to you, at all moments and in every place and at every time.
3. The ambushes of death will not stop, our explosives will surprise you, and we still have much more in store.
4. Your continuous invasions, operations of demolition, arrest, and intimidation will not diminish our resolve, and your eyes have witnessed the defiance of Balata, and before it Nour Shams, Tulkarem, and Jenin.
5. We send greetings to the soul of our martyred fighter, Amer Abu Zaytoun, and say to him on your anniversary: We have kept the promise we made to you, and the blood of their dogs fills the camp and its alleys.
6. To the people of the camp, our clan, and our popular cradle, we only ask for your prayers and for you to be the protective shield for us as we have always known.
7. Finally, we say "O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful."

Your brothers, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades,
Youth of Revenge and Liberation / Balata Camp
