Palestinians hit IOF vehicles with Molotov cocktails as clashes break out in Azzun, #Qalqilya.
🔴 Statement issued by the PFLP for Palestinian Prisoners’ day (1/2):

O sons of our Palestinian people, sons of our Arab nation, free people of the world:

Palestinian prisoners’ day falls on the seventeenth of April this year, with more than 4,900 male and female prisoners still languishing in the prisons of the zionist enemy. Among them are children, the sick, the elderly, and those who are about to spend more than 40 continuous years in their prisons, in extremely miserable human conditions and psychological suffering. They are subjected to torture by various material means, denial of treatment, solitary confinement, the withdrawal of the rights and privileges that they obtained through their relentless struggle and courageous confrontation of the policies of the zionist prisons administration. In addition, they are subjected to other repressive measures and practices to deprive them of their freedom, and the work to legalize these procedures and practices has lead to the adoption of the “Execution of Prisoners” law, which was approved in the first reading in a blatant attempt to stigmatize their struggle with terrorism and remove them from the category of being essentially prisoners for freedom.

The repressive and intimidating measures and practices undertaken by successive zionist governments against the prisoners, leading to their escalation to much higher levels under the fascist Netanyahu-Ben Gvir-Smotrich government, did not diminish the support, cohesion, and unity of the prisoners national movement, through upward struggle measures and counter-steps by announcing preparations for a hunger strike with the beginning of the month of Ramadan. This prompted the administration of the Prisons Authority to submit to their will, and to fulfill many of the demands set by the prisoners movement as they conveyed to us a clear message from their advanced front of struggle in the fight against the enemy: that adhering to the objectives, uniting behind them, and striving to achieve them, all constitute one of the most important factors in victory over the enemy, regardless of the many forms of its superiority, and whatever the level of its aggression, brutality, and terror.

The male and female prisoners have recorded - and still record - an honorable history full of giving, sacrifice and altruism in the journey of our continuous national struggle. Their case intensifies the dialectic of the relationship between man and freedom, in which the freedom of the individual merges with the freedom of his people on the path to achieving his major national and historical goals of independence, return and self-determination. At a time when we salute them with pride, honor and appreciation, this calls for the Palestinian national movement to rise to the level of the challenges facing the prisoners’ movement and its rights.

The first is the right to freedom, as well as their human rights, and this requires that their cause be at the top of our national agenda as humanitarian and human rights forces, factions, institutions and centers, and those specialized in their cause. This takes [the prisoners’ movement] out of seasonal circles and reactions to continuous daily work and puts it before international human rights, legal ,and humanitarian institutions and forums, in defense of them in the face of zionist measures and practices and their natural right to freedom.

O Sons of our people, our nation, and the free people of the world:

There is no separation in waging the battle of freedom and emancipation, through the struggle against the existence of zionism and the zionist project in the heart of the Arab world, Palestine. Zionism has an organic connection with the Western imperialist colonial project, which pursued - and is still pursuing - the revolutionaries striving for freedom in various parts of the world, countries, peoples and individuals.
🔴 Statement issued by the PFLP for Palestinian Prisoners’ day (2/2):

Here, after paying tribute to the internationalist comrade Georges Abdallah, who is about to enter his fortieth year in the prisons of French imperialism, the continuation of his detention throughout these years, and the rejection of all demands for his release clearly affirms and exposes the falsity of the theorizing claims of the so-called “free world” that calls for human rights, democracy and peace.

These can only be snatched by the free will of the people and their unity in the various arenas of struggle, in order to establish the true concepts of the aspired free world, away from occupation, domination, theft of peoples’ wealth and rights, and the deprivation of their freedom and self-determination.

The Palestinian Prisoner's Day is a day of freedom, not only for Palestinian prisoners. The dimensions of their national, popular, and international cause make it a day for all prisoners of freedom in this world. Accordingly, we call for placing their cause in the position it deserves politically by all available and possible means and methods and for broad participation in commemorating this day in the activities to be implemented inside and outside Palestine by national forces and factions, and institutions and committees concerned with their cause and in solidarity with our people.

Freedom and justice for the prisoners of freedom. Victory is definitely the ally of our people and all the struggling peoples.
On the 71st day of his sixth open-ended hunger strike in the zionist prisons, PIJ leader Khader Adnan is still struggling. His current strike is the longest that Khader has undertaken in the 12 times he has been arrested by the zionist entity.

His health continues to deteriorate, and he has published his will. Sheikh Adnan is refusing supplements or medical tests.

Despite this, Sheikh Khader refuses to end his strike until his demands of freedom are met, despite deals created by the occupation. Unlike previous hunger strikes, Sheikh Adnan is not protesting administrative detention (which he has been subjected to for eight years), but arbitrary charges brought forth by zionists. He remains steadfast in the face of the oppressive zionist jailer.

Today, Waed Prisoners' Association writes:
The prisoner Adnan is at risk of martyrdom with any sudden development in his health condition. We warn of the repercussions of the zionist crime against the prisoner Khader Adnan.

We call on our people to support the prisoner Adnan and expose the arbitrary arrest and continuous extortion practiced against him to discourage him from continuing his strike.

Mohjat Al-Quds foundation says:
The health condition of Sheikh Khader Adnan, according to the latest message received by Mahjat al-Quds today, is getting worse and his body is visibly fading away. He cannot enter the bathroom, his body tends to turn yellow, any movement he makes causes him to faint, and he vomits constantly.

4,900 Palestinian prisoners.
1,000 administrative detainees, a record high (no charge or trial).

236 imprisoned martyrs since 1967.
Annual report by the Prisoners’ institutions for Palestinian Prisoners’ Day:

Palestinian Prisoner’s Day, which falls on the 17th of April, comes this year with more escalation of the occupation’s aggression against the Palestinian people. The prisoners’ cause witnessed since the past year, which was the bloodiest year, dangerous transformations that we have not witnessed before.

The occupation continues to detain about 4,900 prisoners, including 31 female prisoners, and 160 children (under 18), including a girl, in addition to more than 1,000 administrative detainees, including 6 children, and two female prisoners.

The number of prisoners with life sentences reached 554 prisoners, with the highest sentence among them held by the prisoner Abdullah Al-Barghouti (67 life sentences). The number of martyred prisoners reached 236 martyrs since 1967, in addition to hundreds who were martyred after their liberation from diseases they inherited from the occupation prisons. The number of martyred prisoners whose bodies are still being held by the occupation is 12.

2,300 cases of arrest have been recorded since the beginning of the year as of the date of preparing this paper (April 15th, 2023). The most significant crime during these arrests was the crime of field execution, which the occupation forces used as a method during any arrest operation carried out at night against citizens.

The number of children arrested since the beginning of this year has reached more than 350, the majority of whom are from Al-Quds, while the number of women and girls who have been arrested has reached 40.

The number of prisoners unjustly detained under administrative detention exceeded more than 1,000, this number is the highest since 2003. Among them are children, women, elderly, and the sick prisoners, including six children, and two female prisoners.

As for the prisoners inside the occupation prisons, the occupation authorities continued to implement their policies against them, including the child prisoners, the most prominent crime being medical negligence (slow killing). The last victim of medical negligence was the martyr Ahmed Abu Ali from Al-Khalil, who was martyred in February.

The number of sick prisoners in the occupation prisons is more than 700, including 24 prisoners who suffer from cancer and tumors of various degrees. The most prominent case is the prisoner Walid Daqqah (detained for 37 years) who suffers from a rare cancer that affects the bone marrow known as Myelofibrosis. Due to the crime of medical negligence, Daqqah recently suffered several successive health deteriorations and was transferred, after demands from the prisoners, to “Barzilai” Hospital with a serious health condition to this day, in addition to the case of the prisoner, Asif Al-Rifai, in which the cancer has reached an advanced stage.

In addition to these policies, there is the policy of solitary confinement, which has escalated significantly since 2021, specifically after the heroic Freedom Tunnel operation. The number of prisoners facing solitary confinement today is about 35, including sick prisoners suffering from mental health issues and chronic diseases. Among them is the prisoner Ahmed Manasra, who the occupation continues to be isolate despite his serious health and psychological condition. We also mention here the oldest isolated prisoners in the occupation prisons, the prisoner Mohammad Khalil, who has been facing solitary confinement for more than 15 years.

Palestinians and allies across Germany mobilized in support of their comrades in Berlin, but were met with repression as well. A statement by Samidoun Germany reads:

"The repression we faced last night in Cologne during the demonstration to commemorate Palestinian Prisoners' Day and in support of our comrades in Berlin is nothing but a form of systematic oppression that the Palestinian people face from fascist, colonialist, and zionist-supporting regimes. It is part of the symbolism of the oppression faced by the Palestinian prisoners' movement, which we echo as a network of defense for the prisoners in the diaspora."

Samidoun Germany describes how German police forces greeted them with dozens of police vehicles in front of a crowd of those standing in support of the prisoners. In fact, the number of police forces greatly outnumbered the number of demonstrators, with multiple police officers per protestor.

"The force, in collusion with its zionist masters, attempted to suppress the demonstration even before it began by dictating what we say, interfering every time we chant for our valiant resistance and our steadfast heroes, to confiscating a banner glorifying the Palestinian resistance and attempting to provoke the participants."

The comrades were provoked, terrorized, and threatened with force by the police, who prevented the gathering of Palestinians.

Despite the repression, the message was loud and clear, and the protestors said in the face of the zionist German police:

"We are here after the repression of our comrades in Berlin to say what they didn't want them to say: We stand with the heroic prisoners until our last breath! We are with the Palestinians resistance in all its forms, at its forefront the armed resistance until our last breath! Glory to the martyrs! The right of return is sacred! Palestine, our Palestine, in its entirety from the river to the sea... is Arab!"
⭕️ Resistance News Network:

In the name of all who have sacrificed and continue to struggle for the unifying flag of the Arab cause.

The Palestinian flag, with its vibrant colors of black, white, green, and red, serves as a symbol of the unified Arab resistance against imperialism. Like the blood of our Arab brethren coursing through our veins, the Palestinian flag pulses with the spirit of our unwavering commitment to fight until victory or martyrdom.

The flag is a beacon of hope that ignites the flame of resistance in the hearts of every Arab and every honorable individual who yearns for justice and liberation. "White are our acts, black our battles, green our fields, and red our swords." -Safi Al-Din Al-Hilli.

It is not merely a piece of cloth but a symbol of our shared history, culture, and identity as Arabs. It represents our unity, transcending borders and differences, binding us together as one formidable force. Our flag is source of inspiration for generations who have sacrificed their lives in pursuit of justice, dignity, and martyrdom for Palestine in the name of Allah.

The chosen garment of our martyrs, the Palestinian flag serves as a reminder that their legacy endures in the hearts and minds of those who continue to carry the banner of resistance.

In their honor, the Palestinian flag will continue to fly high, defiantly, despite all attempts at censorship and erasure from our lives. As it does, it will remain a beacon of hope that guides us in our relentless struggle against the Zionist enemy. It is a testament to our unbreakable spirit, our unyielding determination, and our unshakable faith in the righteousness of our cause.

As long as the flag waves proudly in the skies, the resistance shall continue to rise, resolute and indomitable, until the day of victory.

Long live Palestine!
Long live the banner of the unified resistance!
Glory to the martyrs!

Zionist sources report that ex-IOF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi said in a closed conversation:

"The Israeli army is facing simultaneous battles on more than five fronts: Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, Gaza, and Iran. I only say five because I am maintaining informational security."
⚡️Cyberattacks by the resistance on zionist infrastructure continue. In the last three days, TV channels, speeches, banks, post offices, and missile siren systems of the zionist entity have been hacked.

Today, a cyberattack targeted Ben-Gurion Airport (Al-Lydd Airport), the largest airport of the zionist entity. This led to congestion and delays among the passengers.

Despite recent beating and repression of Palestinian Christians during Holy Saturday in scenes that mirror oppression of Muslims at Al-Aqsa Mosque, Palestinian Christians chant today on Orthodox Easter:

The country belongs to whom? Us!
The neighborhood belongs to whom? Us
The Holy Sepulchre belongs to whom? Us!
Al-Quds belongs to whom? Us!

This country is ours!
⚫️ PIJ Secretary-General Ziyad Al-Nakhaleh during an interview today in Iraq:

The Palestinian people are in a state of comprehensive confrontation with the occupation, especially in the West Bank.

The escalation of the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank has posed a direct threat to the security of the occupying entity. Saraya Al-Quds in the West Bank has begun to post a security threat to the occupation and its settlers.

The resistance in the West Bank and Gaza and the resistance forces in the region constituted a state of deterrence in the face of the occupation.

The courage of the Palestinian youth in confronting the IOF is unparalleled.

Tens of thousands of resistance missiles surround the "israeli" entity in Gaza and Lebanon. The "israeli" began to feel the balance of power due to the balance of deterrence imposed by the resistance.

The equation of Unity of the Fields launched by the PIJ means the unity of all the resistance fronts in the region.

We are certain that the "israeli" entity will disappear thanks to the sacrifices of the Axis of Resistance.

🟢 Hamas' statement for Palestinian Prisoners’ Day:

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

On Palestinian Prisoners' Day, our free prisoners are at the heart of our ongoing battle with the enemy until their liberation and their breathing in the scent of freedom.

On this day, April 17 of each year, the masses of our Palestinian people celebrate with all the meanings of solidarity, pride, and dignity the prisoners in the zionist occupation prisons, who constitute an integral part of our people's unity and their national cause. They recall their continuous suffering as a result of the terrorism and brutality of the zionist jailer, the systematic crimes and desperate attempts aimed at undermining their steadfastness and breaking their will. We renew the covenant of loyalty to them and their sacrifices, until their liberation and their breathing in of the fragrance of freedom in the sky of the homeland.

On Palestinian Prisoners' Day, we in the Hamas movement, ask for mercy on the souls of the martyred prisoners, ask Allah Almighty for a speedy recovery for the sick, and salute our heroic prisoners and our glorious female prisoners in the prisons of the occupation. With their steadfastness and defiance of the zionist jailer, they embody the unity and resistance of our people in all fields.

We also affirm the following:

Firstly: the cause of liberating prisoners from enemy prisons is a national cause par excellence, and it was and will remain at the top of the movement's priorities, which will spare no effort or means to achieve loyalty to them and liberate them from the occupation prisons.

Secondly: we warn the fascist occupation government against escalating its systematic violations and crimes against our heroic prisoners in its prisons, and we hold it fully responsible for their lives and safety, especially sick prisoners, children, and women. These crimes will not be subjected to a statute of limitations, nor will they succeed in breaking their will and steadfastness.

Thirdly: we call on the masses of our people, its living forces, and its national factions to unite efforts and mobilize all energies to support the prisoners by all means. We also call for strengthening solidarity and caring for the families of prisoners and their children, with loyalty that befits their status and sacrifices.

Fourthly: we call on human rights and humanitarian institutions to mobilize to take effective action to stop the violations of the occupation and to press for the immediate release of our heroic prisoners, and to expose the crimes of the occupation and prosecute the perpetrators before international courts.
