Ranks of resistance fighters from Saraya Al-Quds, Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, and Al-Qassam Brigades are participating in the PIJ-led festival today held in #Jenin in honor of the city’s martyrs.
The Valley of Thieves (1/2):
With 26 bullets and a jammed World War II rifle, Tha'er killed 11 IOF soldiers and wounded nine at an occupation checkpoint. Tha'er means "revolutionary." Tha'er permanently closed the checkpoint. Tha'er was just 22. And Tha'er went undetected for two and a half years.
On this day in 2002, Tha'er Kayed Hammad carried out one of the most precise operations in Palestinian resistance history. Hiding between the trees of Al-Bireh, he carried out the legendary Valley of Thieves operation with an old gun that he bought and trained on in the same hills and valleys using his own money. Tha'er says, "I gathered about $1,800 and bought an M1 rifle with 350 bullets. I practiced with it until I could hit a fly with a bullet."
Like flies the settlers dropped. After prayer, he went up to the Valley of Thieves with 70 bullets, knowing that he would either be martyred or imprisoned. Surrounded by olive trees, he watched the checkpoint below him; at exactly 6:00, he fired his first shot. A zionist soldier was hit between the eyes. Seconds later, his second shot hit another soldier in the heart, and a third was hit shortly after.
Soldiers came out to investigate. Bang. Bang. Within a minute, five bullets were fired, and five soldiers were dead. A screaming soldier peeked his head out of the window, only to get a bullet to his brain. Six dead. Two settlers arrived at the checkpoint after some time. Eight dead. Eight bullets.
Tha'er was a master of precision. He avoided shooting Palestinians. When a zionist woman and her children arrived, he said, "I am not like them; I do not kill children," telling her in Hebrew, "I am not a murderer. Leave with your children."
An hour and a half had passed. Tha'er fired 26 bullets, and zionist bodies were laid out all over the checkpoint. His gun exploded, and he was forced to leave it at the site. Although he wanted to "continue the fight with stones from the mountain," he decided it best to withdraw. Tha'er calmly went home to Silwad, took a shower, and slept.

The Valley of Thieves (2/2):
Our hero says, "I didn’t expect to survive, but what comforted me was that I got over the false and exaggerated ideas I had about the “israeli” army being so strong and trained and that I couldn’t hit it, let alone kill it and defeat it. I found out that it was a banal army that could be killed, defeated, and vanquished, and I saw with my own eyes, and heard how the soldiers were weeping, yelling, and begging behind the walls of the building and the mounds of earth while hiding from the fire of my old rifle. I came to the realization that it was an army of mercenaries whose soldiers did not face death bravely and did not stand firm in the battle, which helped keep me steadfast in the arms of the olive tree throughout the operation...Lucky for them [that the gun malfunctioned]."
Zionist intelligence assumed that the shooter was an expert sharpshooter, an older man trained in shooting. Little did they know that 22-year-old Tha'er was the one who soaked the checkpoint in blood. 30 months passed until the IOF matched up the fingerprints and arrested Tha'er. Not even his family knew that he was responsible for such heroism.
At the moment of his arrest, an impressed zionist officer even gave him a military salute. Tha'er was sentenced to 11 life sentences after 30 trials, where he continues to write books and research from within the zionist prisons.
On his arrest, Tha'er said: "The revolutionary fighter remains free even if he is arrested, for freedom is the freedom of the mind, thought, and spirit, even if the body is restricted. My body was arrested two and a half years after the date of the operation was carried out, but while I am in prison, I remain free."
Glory to the resistant rifle! Glory to the revolutionary Tha'er! Freedom for our revolutionary prisoners!

🟡 Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - Tulkarem Brigade (Rapid Response Groups) statement:
—
In the name of God, the most Gracious, the most Merciful
Those who said of their brethren, as they stayed behind, “Had they obeyed us, they would not have been killed1 .” Say, “Then avert death from yourselves, if you are truthful.”"
This is the truth of Allah Almighty.
O masses of our great people, we are fighting because we have to fight for the sake of our religion and our freedom until we expel the occupier or we die. We have no choice but to choose otherwise. If we are right, then we will be rewarded, and if we are wrong, then we will be rewarded.
The souls of the martyrs bless us, revive our souls, strengthen us in jihad, for the glory of nations can only built on the martyrs. The nation that burdens the struggle and is annoyed by the demands of jihad is digging its own grave and writing for its children a never-ending humiliation.
Our people, our pride, and our support in the city of Tulkarem, its camps, and villages; O you who have sacrificed what is dear and precious; we ask you to rally around your children from the Tulkarem Brigade, as they are your soldiers and your sword with which you strike the enemy of Allah and your enemy. Be for us a rock that disintegrates all the conspiracies that are hatched day and night, for you are the rock that we have always known.
We have entrusted the sons of Tulkarem in difficult situations to carry out the wills of the martyrs. There is no one among you who fears or backs down. All of you have contributed and continue to offer [martyrs]. We await a decisive stand from you. Let everyone who refuses to hear the roar of your voices hear that you are our support that cannot be broken. From you is the covenant and from us is the fulfillment, and on Allah the trustworthy rely.
Your soldiers are martyrs when we stop carrying out operations.

Headed by PIJ and Hamas, the leaders of the Palestinian resistance factions met in Damascus, Syria last night to discuss the situation in the West Bank, the unity of the Palestinian people, and the strengthening of resistance against the occupation and its aggression.
The meeting emphasized the unity and joint coordination of Palestinians everywhere. The representatives also showed solidarity and offered condolences to the Syrian people following the disastrous earthquake.
After the meeting, the resistance factions "guaranteed the development and strengthening of all forms of resistance against the occupation and its settlements and the unification of the national front to face the crimes of the occupation and the fascist, racist policies of the zionist government."
The factions condemned the traitorous Aqaba Summit attended by the Palestinian Authority, and they called for the PA to retreat from this "dangerous path and refuse to deal with the American-zionist plans that target our people's resistance." Resistance in all its forms is a legitimate right that "we will not give up, no matter how great the sacrifices," they said.
On the prisoner issue, the factions warned that the repressive measures against the prisoners is criminal, fascist aggression, and that recent transgressions—such as the death penalty, storming prison cells, and assaulting prisoners—will not undermine the will or streadfastness of the free prisoners. They call for increased support for the prisoners' struggle and the continuation of the struggle to liberate them by any means necessary.
Lastly, the factions highlighted their bond with the Arab and Islamic nation, particularly the resistance forces in the region. The factions plan to strengthen joint coordination with regional resistance forces to confront zionist plans and aggression. They showed solidarity with the Syrian people and its leadership, calling for the lifting of the unjust siege and sanctions on Syria and urging the Arab and Islamic nation to move to break the siege.
