🚨 The resistance in Lebanon launched rocket barrages towards the northern occupied Syrian Golan and occupied Lebanese Shebaa Farms without sounding sirens.

Two barrages were also fired towards northeastern occupied Palestine, without sounding sirens but activating the "Iron Dome."

The martyrs of the IOF drone strike in Maydoun, Lebanon today are commanders Musab and Bilal Khalaf of the Fajr Forces (the military wing of the Islamic Group in Lebanon) from Akkar, who had allegedly coordinated rocket launches from southern Lebanon with Al-Qassam Brigades.

Musab is one of the founders of Fajr Forces. Bilal is pictured.

Glory to the martyrs.

🚨 General Directorate of Civil Defense:

The General Directorate of Civil Defense has completed the search and retrieval of martyrs from mass graves at the Nasser Medical Complex after a week-long effort under limited resources and capabilities.

The General Directorate notes that it will begin the operations of retrieving the bodies of martyrs based on documented distress calls under the rubble, using manual capabilities, which increases the difficulty of retrieving some bodies due to the need for heavy equipment.

🚨 The UKMTO reported that a ship 14 nautical miles west of Al-Mukha, Yemen was subjected to at least three missiles in two attacks, leading to damage to the ship.

🚨 A fifth rocket barrage was launched from southern Lebanon moments ago. Over 50 rockets were launched in the last 40 minutes targeting occupied Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian lands.

Missile sirens were not activated in any of the barrages.

This comes after the martyrdom of the founder of Fajr Forces, Musab Khalaf, and Bilal Khalaf.

Attached is a communique from the Escalate Network, urging people not to settle for weak concessions and keep building the movement beyond the campus.

"As long as corporations hold decision-making power, divestment is an illusion."

We must realize that calling divestment is not enough. We demand total liberation, from the river from the sea.

📝 Going Beyond Divestment:

As long as corporations hold decision-making power, divestment is an illusion.

If we disrupt the University's logistics, we will be offered a place at a negotiating table. . . at a price: stop protesting, disband the encampment, forfeit the building, and come peacefully into a wilderness of mirrors -- the stock market. Those who take the bait will forfeit all the leverage they have, ensuring that the negotiations will be meaningless.

As recent fossil fuel divestment campaigns show, behind our backs, they will use shell companies and financial instruments to redirect the funds to the very same assets.

Our first concession will be our last. Don't be lured by the negotiating table. We must continue to escalate until we stop the genocide.

The point is not to establish passive encampments on university campuses. Rather, the point is to build conflictual zones of assembly, where dignified and conscientious persons can combine efforts to disrupt and halt the nightmare unfolding in Gaza.

There are a few simple steps we can follow:
1) Refuse, as recent protesters have done explicitly at Emory University in Atlanta, to be divided into students and "non-students." This is not a student issue. It is a popular movement taking place, for the moment, on campuses. If every student in the entire country was on a campus at this moment, that would still likely not be enough to stop the genocide in Gaza.
2) Don't reproduce past successes, keep reaching higher. After we have won our right to public space, we should take over infrastructure that cannot be ignored: offices, classroom buildings, libraries, cafeterias, etc.
3) Prepare to be attacked. Rather than expect peace, we should prepare for the worst. In 2020, tens of millions of people took to the streets following the murder of George Floyd. Since then, thousands have taken part in the resistance to Cop City in Atlanta. We can learn from these movements: hard banners to block rubber bullets, umbrellas as shields against cameras, goggles for mace, gloves to throw back tear gas, etc.

The City University of New York (CUNY) is made up of a number of public colleges across New York City. The Students for Justice in Palestine of each of these public colleges belonging to CUNY have joined to hold an encampment on one of the college campuses, City College, due to its location in Harlem and history of community and student activism in 1969, "The Five Demands" of Harlem.
