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!"

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!
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.

🚨 According to zionist sources, a settler has been wounded following a stabbing operation near the settlement of “Etzion” between #AlKhalil and #Bethlehem.
During a demonstration condemning the assault of Palestinian “Authority” fighters on resistance fighters in Jenin, a leader in the Jenin Brigade said:
"We will not divert from our path [of resistance], will not retreat, and not surrender. Those who participated in the demonstration in support of the 'Preventative Security' and those who participated in the Sharm el-Sheikh and Aqaba summits do not make any difference to us. If the drums of war beat, we are its men. If you do not want to fight with us, do not be a poisoned dagger in our backs.
Another fighter in the Brigade said:
“My religion does allow me to kill him [PA Security Forces]. Our rifles are only pointed at the Jews. We don’t want anything from the “Authority,” and we don’t want them to come with us against the Jews. We just want them to leave us alone.”
