After spending 40 years in the occupation prisons, the Dean of the prisoners Maher Younis shares this letter with the Palestinian people two days before his release:

Greetings to all who said "I am Palestinian and free". I look forward to meeting you with love and loyalty, and I am waiting for the moment when I am free among you. After the days and years of my tiring existence behind bars, I can't wait to watch the great masses cheering in the name of Palestine.

I gave and sacrificed for my homeland, for the sake of my people. I do not regret anything. Here I am, I am still alive and able to live. After two days, I will be born again.

I am waiting for my freedom with all sadness and pain, because I will leave behind my brothers and comrades with whom I lived all hardships, joys, and sorrows. I leave them, but my heart and soul are with them in the hope that we will meet again soon with all of us free.

Palestinians poured oil on the streets of Jabal Mukabber, #AlQuds, succeeding in immobilizing IOF vehicles, leading to their failure to demolish a garage and their withdrawal.

Palestinians set tires on fire at Al-Ghawi intersection, east of #Nablus in preparation for a possible storming of Yousef's Tomb by IOF-protected settlers tonight.

🚨 Colonial forces are storming #Nablus now, presumably in preparation for the settler incursion to Yousef’s Tomb. IOF snipers have taken position near Balata refugee camp. Electricity has been cut off in some parts of the city.

This is a brief statement.

"Say, 'Are you awaiting anything to befall us except one of the two best things: ˹victory or martyrdom˺? But We are awaiting Allah to afflict you with torment either from Him or at our hands. So keep waiting! We too are waiting with you.'"
This is the truth of Allah Almighty.

We will teach the enemy a lesson in fighting and steadfastness.

The neighing of our horses is on the upward slope, always ascending.

Our men are in their positions. May God protect them and the resistance fighters. Shame and disgrace for any gun that does not engage.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades

An intense battle has begun. All resistance factions, including the Lions' Den, are present on the field, intensely firing upon invading zionist forces in Balata, #Nablus near Yousef's Tomb.

🚨🔥 The Balata Brigade confirms that a zionist soldier is wounded after being shot at point blank following an ambush with bullets and homemade explosive devices. The battle in Balata, #Nablus continues.

As in Jabal Al-Mukabber, #AlQuds earlier today, Palestinians in #Nablus are pouring oil on the streets to prevent the movement of IOF vehicles as the intense battle continues.

After attempting to run him over, the cowardly occupation forces violently kidnap a Palestinian child during the ongoing battle in #Nablus.

Resistance fighters continue to directly target invading IOF soldiers and vehicles in Balata, #Nablus with multiple high-powered explosive devices and bullets.

🟡 Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - Nablus:

At 11:03, our fighters, with God's help, destroyed an enemy vehicle with a locally-made explosive device in the Dahiya neighborhood.

The occupation army is bringing in large military reinforcements from the Hawara checkpoint to the eastern region of Nablus due to the ferocity of the clashes.

Resistance fighters directly open fire on IOF soldiers at Jabal Al-Tur, south of #Nablus, as well as at the colonial Jalameh checkpoint in #Jenin.

From point blank range, Palestinian youth throw Molotov cocktails at an IOF military bulldozer in Balata, #Nablus brought to clear away resistance instances, engulfing it in flames.

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
"And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them. And you threw not, [O Muhammad], when you threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test the believers with a good test. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing."

At these moments, the groups of the Lion's Den are confronting and engaged in clashes with the zionist occupation forces. We are targeting them with barrages of blessed bullets and locally-made explosive devices after they stormed eastern Nablus.

And we will see who will besiege whom.

Your brothers, the Lions' Den groups.

In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
"Permission ˹to fight back˺ is granted to those being fought, for they have been wronged. And Allah is truly Most Capable of helping them ˹prevail˺."
This is the truth of Allah Almighty.

A military statement issued by the Martyr Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades - Musab Shtayyeh Groups.

Out of our belief in the unity of our ranks with our resisting brothers, and despite tribulations after tribulations and hardships, our fighters brushed off the dust of despair, dusted off the ashes from eyes, and pulled out their weapons hidden under the soil of the beloved homeland...

They marched towards the goal, believing in Allah's victory. Our fighters, in partnership with our brothers in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and our brothers in Saraya Al-Quds clashed with the forces of the zionist enemy and its herds of settlers which penetrated into what so-called "Joseph's Tomb" on Amman Street in the city of Nablus.

Here, our fighters rained down onto Jabal Al-Tur and its zionist military post with a barrage of bullets, and our fighters also fired their blessed bullets towards the occupation forces at the Balata Al-Balad junction from Balata Askar Street and the Rujib Junction.

Two hand grenades were thrown towards the jeeps of the zionist occupation, and we confirm that its jeeps and vehicles were severely damaged and there are serious injuries among the ranks of the zionist soldiers and settlers.

All this was by the grace of God first, then by the grace of our steadfast fighters, along with their pure and beloved brothers from the Lions' Den, the Balata Brigade, the Al-Aqsa Brigades, and Saraya Al-Quds. As we open our first operations in the Nablus governorate, we inform the zionist enemy: Nablus and the rest of our cities are forbidden to you, O sons of Zion.

Allah is the Greatest, and praise be to Him.

Your brothers, Musab Shtayyeh Groups.
