Mandela of Palestine.
Born in Al-Quds, the young Omar Al-Qasim left Palestine for Lebanon at a young age to train in military camps. He chose to return in 1968, leading an armed group to carry out an operation after crossing the Jordan River. Fighting until the last bullet, he and others were abducted by zionist forces. In 1988, he became the first prisoner to spend 20 years in zionist jails. Zionists tried to get him to agree to a deal: his freedom as long as he stops resistance activities. He refused.
In prison, he established the foundations for the modern prisoner movement. From there, he carried out a number of hunger strikes. His status in the zionist prisons led others to give him the nickname "Mandela of Palestine."
On May 15th 1974, DFLP members disguised in IOF uniforms carried out the "Maalot" operation, in which 115 zionists were taken hostage. The fighters demanded the release of 26 prisoners. Zionist forces took Omar out of prison so that he could ask his comrades to release the hostages in exchange for a reduction in his sentence. Omar emerged, grabbed the microphone, and told his comrades to carry out the instructions of their leadership, completing what they came to do. The three fighters—Mohammed Dardour, Ali Al-Atmah, and Ziyad Ka'ik—were martyred; 31 zionists were killed.
Omar went back to prison, and upon reaching 20 years inside, he said:"I have spent more than twenty years in detention, and I do not care about my personal fate. What matters to me is the cause of my people, and as long as the nightmare of occupation remains on the chest of my people, I will continue to fight you."
On this day, 34 years ago, he ascended to martyrdom in Bir Sab' prison due to zionist medical neglect. Thousands attended his funeral in Al-Quds, where clashes broke out, prompting newspapers to write "Al-Quds is liberated in Al-Qasim's funeral."
Today, the armed wing of the DFLP is named after the martyred leader, the righteous son of Palestine and one of its most steadfast fighters. Glory to the martyrs.

The Kuwaiti Falcon Soaring Over Palestine.
"You will be proud of me. I will raise your heads and the heads of all Arabs." It was a promise and a farewell.
These words were said to his comrades by martyr Fawzi Abdulrasoul Al-Majadi, an Arab Kuwaiti resistance fighter who dedicated his life to the Palestinian cause in the midst of the first intifada. From Kuwait to Lebanon, Fawzi made his pilgrimage to join the revolution as part of the DFLP in support of the struggling Palestinian people and in holding true to his convictions as an Arab. He joined the revolution to "renew the unity of destiny to conquer the oppression of occupation on all struggling peoples."
Fawzi and his comrades set out to execute the Martyrs of Nablus Operation on the day he uttered these words, June 4th 1989. Their target was an IOF military site near "Meskav Am" in northern occupied Palestine. With two other Palestinian comrades, they killed an IOF soldier, captured two, and injured several others. The three heroes were martyred following bombardment by IOF helicopters after long clashes.
Their bodies were held in the cemetery of numbers for nearly 20 years. On July 16th 2008, a prisoner exchange led by Hezbollah saw the release of the bodies of 199 Arab resistance fighters, including Fawzi Al-Majadi. He was buried honorably in Kuwait following a warm welcome by supporting masses.
Today, the echoes of Fawzi's indomitable spirit resonate decades later, inspiring a new generation of Arab heroes. It was this same spirit, the immortal desire for justice and liberation, that guided another martyr on a journey of defiance and sacrifice: Egypt's Mohammed Salah. The Kuwaiti falcon and the Egyptian lion, both soaring high, their spirits united in the struggle for Palestine's liberation.
From the Ocean to the Gulf, Fawzi sacrificed for Palestine and its Arabism, so that it may be free from the River to the Sea. From the deserts of Kuwait, the falcon soared to Lebanon with his eyes set on Palestine, raising his weapon and wearing victory.

🚨 Two-year-old Mohammed Haitham Al-Tamimi has ascended to martyrdom, two days after he was shot in the head by zionist forces in Nabi Saleh, Ramallah. The condition of his father, who was also shot, is stable.
Glory to the martyrs.
Glory to the martyrs.
The zionist entity has returned the body of heroic Egyptian martyr Mohammed Salah, who killed three IOF soldiers and injured others on the Egypt-Palestine border, to Egypt. The exchange happened earlier today on the very same border.
In Jenin and Nablus, funeral homes have been opened to mourn the heroic martyr. Meanwhile, in Gaza, a resident donated a gold ring at 50 times its value in the name of the soul of the martyr. The hero is being celebrated across Palestine and the Arab world.

🚨 Reactionary forces of the normalizing Egyptian regime have kidnapped the brother and uncle of heroic martyr Mohammed Salah, who carried out the Egyptian border operation. In addition, Egyptian forces have abducted a number of Mohammed's close friends. Such tactics resemble those of the anti-liberation Palestinian Authority.
Mohammed was a member of Egypt's Central Security Forces, but reportedly was uncomfortable with the way that the death of one of his fellow officers was covered up last month.
Egypt has allowed the funeral of the hero, but under strict conditions and without media coverage.

In conjunction with the new presence of IOF tanks near the colonial separation wall in Jenin and Tulkarem and the overflight of advanced IOF drones, zionist forces continue their significant military build-up near the northern West Bank in advance of what may be a large invasion.
The IOF has deployed "Iron Dome" batteries in the area as of today. These images were taken from Barta'a, northwest Jenin.

🚨 BREAKING: The newly-formed Committee of Administrative Detainees announces "The Revolution of Freedom - Intifada of Administrative Detainees" hunger strike, marking the 40th day after Khader Adnan's martyrdom as the number of administrative detainees reaches record numbers of 1,000+ for the first time in 15 years.
They announce a series of actions in opposition to the administrative detention policy, which kidnaps Palestinian prisoners without charge or trial, calling on resistance, the PA, and diaspora for support (1/2):

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
O masses of our revolutionary Palestinian people everywhere:
The administrative detainees in the prisons of the occupation have decided to commence their national project and their open-ended hunger strike in protest against administrative detention, in loyalty to the path followed by the martyr Khader Adnan, who went on a hunger strike steadfastly and without retreat, preserving the principle for which our martyr paid his life. We will be putting the issue of administrative detainees genuinely and effectively on the table, confronting the policies of the occupation and the Shin Bet, who delight in torturing us, draining our lives, and stealing our years through the arbitrary administrative detention policy.
This comes after the number of administrative detainees unprecedentedly exceeded more than 1083 detainees. Thus, it is crucial for all parties concerned with the prisoners' file—government, factions, resistance, people, institutions, international community—to bear their responsibilities in ending our suffering and curb the repressive practices of the occupation government, because the level of aggression against the prisoners has never reached the current level in its size and boastfulness.

Our fighting people, our uprising factions, our heroic resistance, in light of all these facts and on the 40th anniversary of the martyrdom of Khadr Adnan; we affirm the following:
First: We, as administrative detainees, will embark on an integrated national project to combat administrative detention, in which all administrative detainees from all spectra of the prisoners' movement under the umbrella of the Palestinian flag will participate and interact. The project includes all forms of struggle, primarily the open-ended hunger strike and the ongoing boycott of courts ongoing since last September, and the supporting programs of struggle for the struggles of the administrative detainees in their project "Revolution of Freedom - Intifada of Administrative Detainees."
Second: We announce to you that Sunday, June 18, 2023, will be the official date to begin the open hunger strike under the title "Revolution of Freedom - Intifada of Administrative Detainees."
Third: We emphasize that our main demand is to end administrative detention and obligate the occupation “state" to respect international humanitarian law.
Fourth: We call on the Palestinian Authority "presidency and government" to adopt the demands of the administrative detainees and activate all tools of diplomatic pressure, make our cause a national priority, and provide an official and popular cradle to support us.
Fifth: It is required from all factions, resistance, institutions, civil society organizations, and all of our people to effectively support our cause and strike. Rise up in all fields and squares, ignite all points of contact with the occupation, and form a support and safety network for us in our battle. Support us and do not leave us alone for the occupation to isolate us, for you are our support after Allah.
Sixth: We call on Palestinian communities abroad to move and engage in a solidarity movement to support our cause by protesting in front of enemy embassies and addressing all European institutions and parliaments until the occupation responds to our demands.
O free people everywhere, we move forward with our strike and our project, as the years our lives have passed by the hands of the zionists without salvation finding its way to us. The flood has reached its peak, so we demand genuine support that stops the bleeding of detention and saves us from the clutches of the occupation and its arbitrary policies. The stance of the people, the factions, and the resistance specifically in the West Bank, Al-Quds, and inside Palestine is capable of shortening the duration of the strike, ensuring its success, and ending our suffering.
Glory to the martyrs, freedom for the prisoners, and healing for the wounded.
The Committee of Administrative Detainees in the prisons of the occupation.

Our heroic Palestinian people and our valiant Arab nation.
56 years ago, the history of the 5th of June 1967 linked with the defeat of the official Arab regime and the collapse of its programs, which had as one of its most prominent results the victory of zionist aggression by occupying all of Palestine, the Arab Golan, and Egyptian Sinai, and cementing the idea of defeat and its implications in Arab official mentality and practice. This effectively prepared the entry into the path of settlement, with its foundations were established in the Camp David Agreement, followed by Oslo and Wadi Araba, reaching now to so-called Abraham Accords, with all their serious risks threatening to liquidate the Palestinian cause.
The defeat of June 5th and its consequences, are still in effect today. They have confirmed—on one hand—the nature of the zionist enemy, its essence, and its settler-colonial, racist, elimination project, and its aspirations of expansion, dominance, and occupation of a central position at the expense of the Arab homeland and the "Middle East" region. They also aim to secure the goals, interests, and ambitions of the Western colonial imperialist forces allied with it, especially the United States, in exploiting the riches of the Arab homeland, its wealth, continuing its fragmentation, perpetuating its underdevelopment, arresting its development, and subjecting it to the conditions of domination and complete dependency.
On the other hand, it also confirmed the magnitude of the catastrophe under which the official Arab situation suffers and its repercussions on the popular condition, in terms of the backwardness of its structure, institutions, apparatus, and armies, the failure to keep up with scientific and technological developments, the rise in poverty and unemployment rates, the absence of concepts of national development and its foundations, the spread of divisions and apparent and latent civil wars, and other crises that are increasing, without serious solutions in light of the decline of the organized revolutionary alternatives and their weakness, which should take on the task of initiating the revolutionary change process.

O masses of our people and our nation,
56 years after the defeat, with all its ongoing chapters, it made clear that, despite the misery of the official Arab reality and its decadence, the Palestinian people's choice was to pave the way for national struggle, along with all the progressive liberation forces and Arab popular bases, which affirm this by escalating forms of resistance, and the diversity of its formations, fronts, organized and individual actions. They confirm that this is the path to achieve our people's and our [Arab] nation's inevitable victory and the defeat of the Western-American-zionist project and its advanced colonial base in the heart of the Arab homeland, and the realization of its goals and aspirations for freedom, return, independence, progress, and unity.
Here, the historical responsibility—nationally Palestinian, and nationally Arab—is defined as necessary to address the internal Palestinian situation in terms of ending the division and severing all ties with the agreements signed with the enemy, withdrawing recognition of its entity, and the revolutionary forces assuming their tasks that cannot be postponed on the path of the revolutionary change process. This process is based on a comprehensive Palestinian national vision and strategy, as an integral part of a more comprehensive Arab national vision and strategy, and healing in a united Arab popular front, that surpasses the state of division, fragmentation, and dependency, and builds the pillars of its scientific, material, and moral strength. This endeavor originates from the objectivity of the conflict with the zionist enemy and its comprehensiveness and historicity, considering it a conflict of existence not only between the Palestinian people and the "israeli" occupation, but fundamentally a conflict between the entire Arab nation, and that the zionist project and all its parties affect its history, present, and future.
Greetings and glory to our people and our nation and to their ongoing struggle and escalating resistance.
Glory to the martyrs. Freedom to the prisoners. Healing to the wounded.
Victory is certainly an ally of the struggling peoples.

🚨 BREAKING: An IOF soldier is wounded in a run-over operation in Huwara, #Nablus. The driver escaped without harm, and the IOF is on high alert.
Mohammed Haitham Al-Tamimi ascended to martyrdom in Ramallah today after he was shot by IOF soldiers two days ago. Tomorrow, he will be laid to rest.
His steadfast mother wrote, "Congratulations on your martyrdom, my son." His wounded father, recovering from being shot in the shoulder by the same IOF soldier, kissed his two-year-old son goodbye.
The Palestinian poet Tamim Al-Barghouthi once wrote:
"Oh leader of the forces, invaders to the braids,
Or to the kohl-lined eyes,
For years,
I've known that you don't fear the child alive,
But I sincerely urge you, fear the dead children."
