Mohammad al-Razem of Issawiya, #AlQuds smiles as the illegitimate and crumbling zionist entity increases his prison sentence from 40 to 56 months.
⚠️ According to a report by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, 35 martyrs ascended in the last month, 8 of them children.
Of these, most were shot in the upper body as a consequence of the IOF's shoot-to-kill policy. 13 were shot in the head, seven in the chest, seven in the stomach, six in the neck and shoulders, and two from full body burns.
20 of the 35 martyrs are from Jenin. Five from Al-Quds; three from Al-Khalil; two each from Bethelem, Nablus, and Ramallah; and one from Qalqilya.
Glory to the martyrs.

🚨 The Lions’ Den has released an important statement. Translation is forthcoming.
🔥🦁 Lions' Den statement:
—
In the Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
"O believers! Take your precautions and go forth either in groups or together."
This is the truth of Allah Almighty.
A statement and a clarification.
To the men of Allah in the field, the lions of truth, and the leaders of protection in every place in Palestine,
To our people stationed in the honorable Al-Quds, who, if they revolt, will shake the ground under the feet of the invaders and strike fear into the hearts of the aggressor zionists,
O, healers of our hearts after Allah. We testify to God that you are the source of our pride, the crown on our heads, and the icon of our steadfastness,
O legions of liberation, who carried the will of the rattler [Al-Qa'qa] of Al-Quds, Al-Tamimi Oday, who launched forth in the name of Allah and His banner of unity an army of believers in a time of apostasy, disbelief, and abandonment, so that Khairi Alqam [the charitable] would come out to sow death in the proud streets and intersections of Al-Quds, increasing the killing and wounds of the children of monkeys and pigs, proud of what he has given, satisfied with what he has done, and healing the hearts of the believers.
From the Lions' Den groups, all salutations to the soul of the Lion of Palestine, Khairi Alqam, to the brave commando boy Mohammad Aleiwat, and to everyone who followed on their blessed path and speech.
Let the sons of Judaism know that the land of the milk and honey, as they claim in their beliefs, will be blood and fragments of flesh flying from their bodies over every inch of our sacred land.
Our message to you, O children of Zion, is that there is no place for you on our land, no temple, not even a place to bury your dead. Go back where you came from, each to his original homeland. Where you came from is much better for you than your inevitable fate on our land. As you can see and hear, the Lions’ Den is waiting for you in every street and every checkpoint, and soon, we will meet inside your homes.
Third: We call upon the sons of our resistant people to be fully vigilant, increase unity, and to engage immediately in an act of resistance. Since we are fighting alone, we call on you, sons of our people, to arm yourselves immediately with everything your faith possesses. We say to the rancid Yahoo [Netanyahu] and the bitch Ben-Gvir, the weapons of your settlers will be our prize in the hands of our men. We will kill you with them, and you will see with your own eyes.
We will see who will besiege whom.
Your brothers, the Lions’ Den groups.

Resisting youth block the streets of the town of Jabal Al-Mukabber in occupied #AlQuds with waste containers and pour oil on the roads to prevent the occupation municipality bulldozers from demolishing homes.
🚨 Occupation forces are continuing to escalate their assault on Palestinian prisoners. Female prisoners in Damon prison have set fire to some cells and prison officers are attacking them with tear gas and by hand.
Per the Prisoners’ Organization:
In Damon prison: The prison administration carried out massive repression against female prisoners accompanied by assaults on them, and turned the prisoners’ rooms into dungeons after stripping them of all their possessions. The prisoner Yasmine Shaaban was isolated. In response, female prisoners carried out widespread protests, including burning the rooms. This attack carried out by the [occupation] administration against the female prisoners has been going on for three days after it carried out a storming of Room 10, during which it pulled electrical appliances from the room and imposed penalties on the prisoners who are in it.
Prisoners in all prisons have decided to escalate their actions today in response to the oppression that the female prisoners were subjected to in Damon.

The Palestinian resistance factions: “The occupation's suppression of male and female prisoners is a dangerous aggression and playing with fire for which the occupation bears full responsibility.”
The Palestinian resistance in Gaza has launched a series of test missiles towards the ocean to improve its capabilities and send a warning to the occupation.
