🔻 The zionist army admits that two of its officers were killed during battles in the central #Gaza Strip yesterday, likely in the Al-Mughraqa ambush. They admitted that another soldier was seriously wounded.

This is contrary to press sources who announced the number of dead IOF soldiers to be four.

🚨BREAKING: CCNY SHUTS DOWN FOOD PANTRY AS COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT FOR PRO-PALESTINE ENCAMPMENT. 🚨

The CCNY administration continues its inhumane policy of denying our community access to basic needs, starting with locking us out of bathrooms on campus and now shutting down its on-campus food pantry.

At 11:14 a.m. this morning, CCNY announced that it will shut down Benny's Food Pantry "due to the current demonstrations occuring on campus." No attempt was made to explain what the connection between the two was.

The decision to close Benny's is a shameful attempt by the administration to sabotage our encampment and turn our community members against each other. Instead of pressuring the Chancellor to negotiate, the CCNY administration has single-handedly decided to deprive the community of food as a means of collective punishment.

On Campus Action and the Unity of the Fields (1/2):

The last two weeks have seen a rise in action, primarily through campus solidarity encampments, among the Palestinian diaspora and their supporting communities abroad. Inspired by the example Columbia University students set with their Gaza Solidarity Encampment beginning April 17, campus organizations across the world have followed suit. Universities as far as Sciences-Po in France have established encampments, with groups as far and wide as the Swaziland National Union of Students offering statements of support and solidarity. In fewer than two weeks, we have seen Solidarity Encampments spread rapidly across the United States and other countries allied with the zionist entity.

Having established this, Gaza Solidarity Encampments must undermine their geographical separation by employing proven and successful strategies to their struggle, namely the Unity of the Fields, in order to escalate from simple demands of divestment into a truly anti-colonial reality which can be imposed on western institutions.

Solidarity Encampments have been formed out of the conscience of righteous and free people who reject being forced to contribute to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. This position converges naturally with that of the Palestinian people and the resistance waging the struggle on the front lines. Since the start of the zionist aggression on Gaza, the Palestinian people through their resistance have on numerous occasions declared that while international institutions are to blame for providing cover for the ongoing atrocities being committed in Gaza, it is the duty of the “free people” to rise in rejection of this status quo and act urgently to end the genocide and resolve the prisoners’ struggle through their liberation.

Following this coordinated Palestinian message, and more than 200 days into the ongoing genocide, those who support Palestinian liberation began to act and, in fewer than two weeks, have taken nearly 100 university campuses by storm. Universities have been quick to escalate against anti-colonial action with dozens of schools authorizing police force to assault and arrest by the hundreds, and cancelling classes and graduations entirely. Campuses have been isolated from their communities as authorities attempt to draw a line between the student and their broader community which has the ability to multiply the impact encampments have had so far. Zionist agents and other counterrevolutionaries have attempted to sabotage these movements as well, turning these campuses from places of demonstration into true fields of confrontation.

Many student and community organizers have risen to meet these challenges head-on. Students at Columbia University responded to zionist-police violence with a call to escalate their action beyond divestment, distilling their message to genuine Palestinian liberation. They declared that they “will stop at nothing less than an end to the genocide in Gaza.” Emory University has declared the goal of their encampment to be “total divestment from ‘israeli’ apartheid and Cop City.” Cal Poly Humboldt and University of Illinois – Urbana Champaign have distinguished themselves as a model of confrontational action, with the former occupying two campus buildings and the latter using reinforced banners and signs to successfully defend against police aggression. Many encampments have closed ranks among themselves and used innovative tactics to push back against zionist-backed police violence and engage in successful de-arrest.

Regardless of the distinctions in their stated goals and tactics, all of the movements that have emerged thus far are actively confronting zionist-backed repression, and by doing so have ignited new and very real fields in the Palestinian struggle for liberation. Gaza Solidarity Encampments have the opportunity to impede the objectives of the zionist colonial project by stripping it of its investment capital and ideological backing.

On Campus Action and the Unity of the Fields (2/2):

More importantly, they serve as a means to further the demands of the anti-colonial movement in the west beyond solely divestment (which as it pertains to fossil fuels, can and has been circumvented by financial instruments) and into the real isolation of the zionist entity from the normalization it enjoys on western university campuses. Especially in the United States, universities have deep ties to the zionist-aligned national institutions, be they defense companies or investment through endowment. As part of this project, their tendency to suppress genuine revolutionary movements inevitably creates real fields of confrontation in the struggle for Palestinian liberation.

In light of the emergence of these new fields, which have been sustained through the principled refusal of some encampments to negotiate for scraps, it is imperative that other encampments hold to this principled stance, and that Gaza Solidarity Encampments adopt and adhere to the Unity of the Fields.

The Unity of the Fields is a concept championed by the Palestinian resistance through its history of waging the struggle against imperialism on multiple fronts. Despite the various ideologies, short-term objectives, and locations of the factions participating in the struggle, the crux of this philosophy is that all can work towards one common goal without being placed under the same structure of governance. Unity of the Fields does not entail establishing a bureaucracy, though groups may remain in contact with one another to coordinate operations. Rather, it leverages the instant exchange of information available to us today to take facts on the ground and purpose them as “signals.” For instance, when news is confirmed that negotiations have ended between the Palestinian resistance and mediators, the resistance in Lebanon may intensify its strikes to apply pressure. When Lebanon is bombed heavily, Yemen or Iraq may respond with force.

Similarly, we must recognize that US campus authorities especially are suppressing Palestinian liberationist action as parts of one system and on the orders of the same benefactors. Columbia University took violent action against encampment participants, aiming to instill fear among students across the country. However, it backfired and led to the proliferation of new camps within hours. Gaza Solidarity Encampments must act with the same unity: When one encampment is stormed – and we all receive notice of this in real-time – other encampments must escalate their efforts in lockstep. When one encampment achieves a real victory, the others should learn from that victory, apply its lessons to their own, and leverage that victory as pressure against their own repressive administrations. In this way, 100 separate and independent encampments can act as one supersystem, erasing the spatial and temporal divide that has been imposed on them.

Gaza Solidarity Encampments did not emerge with the intention of starting a confrontation of this nature; their demands have been righteous, realistic, clear and principled. Regardless of this intention, however, confrontation has been imposed on them and they must rise to meet the challenges. We have the privilege of witnessing in real-time the most successful resistance movement of contemporary history, and with it a blueprint for how we can operate to achieve success. Without uniting the fields, individual encampments can be isolated and picked off, and the disgusting status quo which leaves blood on the hands of university administration maintained. With Unity of the Fields, we combat an oppressive system with a liberationist system, undermining illusory divisions while increasing the cost of sponsoring genocide in Gaza.

⚫️ Palestinian Islamic Jihad Political Bureau member Ihsan Ataya to Al-Mayadeen:
—
The proposal is not as generous as the American claims, who is trying to deceive the world.

The offer on the table has significant loopholes and malicious attempts.

The document presented is three and a half pages long and discusses details across three stages.

The terms of the new document have not changed by more than 90% from the previous documents, therefore, I doubt that an agreement will be reached.

The unity between [Palestinian Islamic] Jihad and Hamas is at its highest level, which is why we rejected all proposals that could play on dividing the Palestinian factions.

I expect that the delay of the "israeli" aggression on Rafah is linked to the port that America is trying to establish.

The purpose of the maritime port is to transform the crossings into besieged American-zionist crossings, as Washington tries to change the reality on the ground.

America wants to change the geographical reality in Gaza to end everything related to the resistance, but the resistance leadership is aware of the enemies' maliciousness.

In light of mass suspension threats by Columbia University adminsitration towards students at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment, students are remaining steadfast and refusing to leave until their demands are met.

"Suspension for Gaza is the highest honor!" wrote one student on the form demanding evacuation and threatening suspension.

🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades released exclusive footage of its recently revealed "jumping explosive," an anti-personnel explosive device that, once activated, jumps one meter from below the surface and explodes, directing shrapnel 30 meters in all directions.

The report discusses the creativity of the Al-Qassam Brigades in the 365 sq km Gaza Strip against a technologically advanced military. Below ground, the surface area of the tunnels is larger than the Strip itself. Exclusive scenes from within the tunnels are shown, including special tunnels whose purpose is to explode.

These special tunnels have been creatively used throughout Al-Aqsa Flood, swallowing soldiers in qualitative ambushes.

A leader in the Qassam Brigades told Al-Jazeera that preparing ambushes requires experience in dealing with explosives and adapting available means of combat to fit the theater of operations, and for the success of the ambush there must be precise intelligence effort that allows knowledge of the opponent's methods and routes.

According to the leader, the ambushes are built on three stages: luring the enemy, and what that requires in terms anticipating enemy reactions. The second stage involves camouflage and hiding the engineering traps, then waiting for the perfect moment in the most best place to activate the ambush. The traps are built using domestically-manufactured weapons and reverse engineering; others are developed based on knowledge of the weakness of IOF weapons.

Exclusive training clips are shown, including the anti-personnel jumping explosive, one of five known Al-Qassam explosives.

The guerilla action device requires four seconds to explode after installation and the detonator is removed. Other devices, such as the "Raadiya," explodes circularly, forming a longitudinal wave in one direction with a 12m diameter, reaching 140m.

Remains of IOF vehicles and equipment weapons are shown, after being blown up in an ambush.
