🟢 Martyr Izz El-Din Al-Qassam Brigades: — Al-Qassam Brigades destroys a zionist Merkava tank with a highly explosive device east of Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip.

🟢 Hamas (1/2): — In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Announcement of the Martyrdom of the Mujahid Leader and Great National Symbol Yahya Al-Sinwar "Abu Ibrahim," Commander of Al-Aqsa Flood Battle "Among the believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow, and some are still waiting, and they have not changed in the least." With all the pride, dignity, and honor, the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, mourns to our Palestinian people, to our entire nation, and to the free people of the world, one of the noblest and bravest men, a man who dedicated his life for Palestine and gave his soul for the sake of Allah on the path to its liberation. He was true to Allah, and Allah was true to him, choosing him as a martyr alongside his fellow martyrs: We mourn the great national leader, the Mujahid Martyr Brother Yahya Al-Sinwar (Abu Ibrahim), Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Commander of Al-Aqsa Flood Battle He rose as a heroic martyr, advancing and never retreating, wielding his weapon, engaging and confronting the occupation army at the frontlines. He moved between all combat positions, steadfast and stationed on the honored land of Gaza, defending the land of Palestine and its holy sites, inspiring the spirit of endurance, patience, steadfastness, and resistance. Our great people, our Arab and Islamic nations, and the free people of the world: The martyred leader Yahya Al-Sinwar lived as a mujahid, and from his youth, he carved his path within the ranks of Hamas, engaging in its resistance operations. During 23 years of imprisonment, he triumphed over the zionist jailer. After his release in the Wafa al-Ahrar deal, he continued his contributions, planning and fighting until his eyes witnessed, on October 7, 2023, the day of the great flood that shook the depths of the entity, exposing the fragility of its supposed security. The heroic epics of our people and the valor of our victorious resistance followed, until he attained the highest rank and the noblest medal, ascending as a witness and a martyr, content with the jihad and sacrifice he offered. The martyr leader Yahya Al-Sinwar followed in the footsteps of great martyred leaders, including the founding martyr Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Dr. Abdelaziz Al-Rantisi, Al-Maqadmeh, Abu Shanab, Jamal Mansour, Jamal Saleem, the martyred leader Ismail Haniyeh, and his deputy Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri, along with the caravan of martyrs from all our leaders and people. We affirm that these sacrifices will continue to illuminate our path and drive us to more resilience and steadfastness. Hamas remains committed to the promise of its founding leaders and martyrs until the aspirations of our people are fully realized: the complete liberation and return, and the establishment of the Palestinian state on the entire national soil with Al-Quds as its capital, by Allah’s will. This will become a curse upon the invading occupiers who are strangers to this land. Our great people, our Arab and Islamic nations, and the free people of the world: The martyrdom of Brother Leader Yahya Al-Sinwar, along with all the leaders and icons of the movement who preceded him on the path of honor, martyrdom, and the project of liberation and return, will only strengthen Hamas and our resistance, making us more determined and steadfast in following their path, honoring their blood and sacrifices. A movement that offers its leaders and members as martyrs in defense of the rights of its people is a noble, genuine movement deeply rooted in its people.

Yahya Sinwar, also known as "Abu Ibrahim", the leader of the Palestinian resistance movement, and the commander fighting alongside his people in Gaza has ascended to martyrdom. Yahya Sinwar was martyred in the heart of Gaza, amongst his people leading them to the front lines. He did not cower away, but instead, he fought, led, and inspired thousands of revolutionaries to stand against genocide, in defense of the honorable Palestinian people.  Yahya Ibrahim Hassan Sinwar ascended to martyrdom on the 17th of October, and he was born on the 19th of October in the Khan Younis Refugee Camp as his family was displaced from the city of Majdal Asqalan in 1948 during the ongoing Nakba. It was on the 18th of October, 2011 that Yahya Sinwar was released in the "Wafa al-Ahrar" prisoner exchange deal that liberated 1,027 prisoners held in the occupation's dungeons. (1/3)

🚨 Documentation of the moment that resistance fighters in #Tubas detonated an explosive device on a zionist vehicle amidst ongoing armed clashes.

According to Electronic Intifada, "British counterterrorism police on Thursday raided the home and seized several electronic devices belonging to The Electronic Intifada’s associate editor Asa Winstanley. "Approximately 10 officers arrived at Winstanley’s North London home before 6 am and served the journalist with warrants and other papers authorizing them to search his house and vehicle for devices and documents." The police claimed that he was being investigated under the 2006 Terrorism Act, stating that the investigation was related to his social media posts. Asa was not charged, but his devices were seized. This is the latest in a series of repressive acts targeting pro-Palestinian voices, organizations, and individuals, especially those in support of the resistance (a right enshrined in international law), among the most recent of which being Samidoun's designation as a "terrorist entity," the detention of journalists Richard Medhurst, Richard Lofreddo, and Scott Ritter, Meta's restrictions on the 🔻 emoji and the word "zionist", NYU making "zionist" a protected trait, RNN's ban in the EU, and many others. It is worth noting that the raid comes a few days after Asa's article: "How Israel killed hundreds of its own people on 7 October," discussing the zionists' use of the Hannibal Directive.

Abu Ali Mustafa was succeeded as the PFLP's Secretary-General by imprisoned comrade Ahmed Sa'adat, who did not delay in getting revenge. On the day of Abu Ali's assassination, the Red Eagles Brigades assassinated Meir Lixenberg, who oversaw a number of West Bank settlements. Ahmed Sa'adat sought to avenge his comrade who had ascended: "An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. A head for a head." Nothing less could avenge. Sa'adat delivered these historic words in his first speech, renaming the Red Eagles Brigades in Abu Ali's honor, and redefining the PFLP's motto, vowing revenge. Days later on October 17th, PFLP commandos assassinated zionist minister Rehavam Ze'evi to avenge Abu Ali Mustafa. Heroes Majdi Al-Rimawi, Hamdi Qaraan, and Basil Al-Asmar booked themselves into the Hyatt Regency in Al-Quds with fake passports to prepare for the day of glory. Equipped with silencers, Hamdi spotted Ze'evi, grabbing his attention with a nonchalant "hey." Ze'evi turned around, and three silent bullets pierced the minister's skull. For this speech and the ensuing operation, Ahmed Sa'adat, the heroes of the operation, and Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades commander-in-chief Ahed Abu Ghalama were kidnapped by the Palestinian Authority in January 2002, kept in the infamous Areeha prison under the auspices of Jibril Rajoub and Tawfiq Tirawi (additional link). Guarded by American, Canadian, and British guards, the PA handed Sa'adat over to the zionist entity in March 2002. Today, Sa'adat leads the PFLP from "Ramon" prison, where he and PFLP leadership continue to face abuse at the hands of the zionists.

@taraxrh: "We should wait for an official announcement from Hamas confirming or denying news that literally only zionist sources are reporting. That being said, the martyrdom of national leaders has never deterred resistance - historically or within the past year alone." *** @OmarHamadD: "We will all walk the path of resistance and the path of Sinwar. If they kill Sinwar today, a hundred Sinwars will emerge to take his place. If Israel thinks that by killing Yahya Sinwar it will stop the Palestinians from defending their land, it is mistaken. Israel has killed hundreds of leaders, including Yasser Arafat (Abu Ammar), Ahmed Yassin, Abdul Aziz al-Rantisi, Abu Ali Mustafa, Ismail Haniyeh, and many other leaders. But the result has always been the opposite: the resistance grows fiercer, stronger, and more determined." *** @NerdeenKiswani: "I remember hearing this chant when I was a young girl “From Gaza, to Jenin, we are all Ahmad Yassin.” It’s never been about one individual. Palestinians embody the spirit of resistance everywhere we are with everything we have. Resistance can never be killed. “A minute of living with dignity and pride is better than a thousand years of a miserable life under the boots of the occupation.” - Yahya Sinwar *** @wu_delcastro: "Sinwar was not assassinated. If he was martyred he was martyred in battle while fighting on the front lines. That’s our resistance leader, they don’t hide in mansions they are on the ground fighting for the greatest cause & struggle Allah has ordained for his believers." *** @imwhtilike: "Remember what martyrs Basel Al Araj said about the enemy creating confusion and sowing discord with news. Stay disciplined and listen to the resistance." "Cabral died and we still kicked the Portuguese settlers out. Kimathi died and we still kicked the British settlers out. Hani died and we still ended apartheid. Toussaint died and we still kicked the French settlers out. Irrespective of what happens, jihad continues. Are we in it?"

🟡 NOW: Students tried to barricade themselves in the Free University of Berlin, threatening to destroy the server room if police entered the building. They demanded an immediate end to the deep-seated relationship between the university and the State of Israel, among other things. However, several university staff remained in the building alongside the Palestine solidarity activists. As the police arrived quickly, ready to crack down, they escaped the building. None of the occupiers remain in the building, and police have already made several arrests. The attempted occupation follows last summer’s takeover at Humboldt University Berlin, where protesters tried to negotiate their demands with university authorities. A statement released by the occupiers declares, “The time for begging for justice from the University is over.” Join @theredstream 🟡 Support red. 🟡 X 🟡 Bluesky

WE ARE ALL SAMIDOUN! 🇵🇸 (2/2) 16 October 2024 – Solidarity statement by Unity of Fields: unityoffields.org/we-are-all-samidoun As Samidoun’s international coordinator Charlotte Kates said in 2023, “We should understand that the reason why terror laws exist, is to maintain imperialist domination in the region and to provide a criminal mechanism of undermining the connection of the diaspora to their own liberation struggle, of cutting off any form of meaningful international solidarity to those who are on the front lines confronting and making a fundamental political change in the way that people advocate and speak about Palestine and other liberation movements… We’ve got to fight to get resistance organizations off the list, but we’ve got to fight to bring down these structures altogether because the only reason they exist is to extend imperial power. They don’t exist for any other reason. They exist to destroy our movements. They exist to demobilize us, they exist to separate us from one another, and we have to resist that separation, that splitting, that attempt to create an acceptable alternative of the future within imperialism.” As Samidoun said in their statement, “We Keep Resisting: US and Canada sanction Samidoun,” on 16 October: “As Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, we reiterate our support for the Palestinian people, the prisoners and the Palestinian, Arab and Islamic resistance, who are confronting the genocide and occupation on a daily basis. At the same time, we want to stress that Samidoun does not have any material or organizational ties to entities listed on the terrorist lists of the United States, Canada or the European Union. We reiterate our words upon German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’ announcement of the demand to ban Samidoun: In Arabic, the word “Samidoun,” means those who are steadfast. We use this name to refer to the Palestinian prisoners, who remain behind bars, struggling for freedom. Today we affirm that we shall remain steadfast and committed to the Palestinian people, until victory, return and liberation.” An attack on one of us is an attack on us all. We are all Samidoun! Abolish the “terrorist” lists! Let repression breed more resistance.

WE ARE ALL SAMIDOUN! 🇵🇸 16 October 2024 – Solidarity statement by Unity of Fields: unityoffields.org/we-are-all-samidoun On 15 October 2024, the US baselessly designated the Samidoun Palestinian Political Prisoner Solidarity Network (Samidoun) as a Specially Designated National (SDN) by summarily adding it to the Treasury Department’s list of sanctioned organizations and individuals. At the same time, Canada designated Samidoun as a “terrorist entity” under Canada’s Criminal Code. Samidoun, a longtime target of state repression and liberal zionist counterinsurgency from within the movement, is a principled and unyielding international voice for thousands of Palestinian political prisoners. We categorically reject this illegitimate “terrorist” designation, and we call for international progressive forces to stand with Samidoun. Imperialists have always weaponized “terrorist” labels to delegitimize liberation movements, but the designation of Samidoun, an unarmed solidarity movement, is a qualitative escalation. Whether it is Cuba being designated as a “state sponsor of terrorism,” Stop Cop City protestors facing domestic terrorism charges, or material support to terrorism (MST) charges being weaponized against anti-zionists, these terror lists and designations must be totally rejected and abolished. The US, Canada, and the zionist entity are the real “terrorists,” the genocidal settler states built on mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, at this very moment burning Palestinians alive in hospital tents, and slandering as “terrorists” those who dare to resist them. As the US-backed zionist genocide intensifies in Palestine and Lebanon, the counterinsurgency intensifying against the anti-imperialist movement is no surprise. Make no mistake, fascism is already here. This attack on Samidoun is an attack on the entire anti-imperialist movement, and marks the beginning of a wave of broader criminalization and repression of pro-resistance speech, weaponizing laws like MST and RICO to break solidarity. Anti-imperialist forces must rigorously adapt our strategies to this new phase of repression. It is more crucial than ever to voice support for the resistance because the more of us that do, the harder it is for the state to divide and disorganize us. By cowering now, by withholding critical solidarity, by allowing the state to isolate organizations through lawfare and phony “terrorist” designations, we only relinquish our collective power. We must affirm the righteousness of the Axis of Resistance, and also the righteousness of militant resistance in the imperial core... (1/2)

ANONYMOUS SUBMISSION: On Wednesday morning, autonomous actors left a message for General Joseph Votel ahead of his appearance at the McDonough School of Business “Business of Leadership” event, featuring war profiteers: NO WAR CRIMINALS ON CAMPUS. Votel, the former head of CENTCOM, is not welcome on our campus, nor are the other genocidal panelists. THE US ARMY IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. Hands off the Middle East!

Twitter round-up from today: @UnityOfFields: "The genocidal, bloodthirsty, satanic settler entities of the US, canada, and israel are the real "terrorists," if such a word has any meaning left." @HalfAtlanta: "you ignored the Uhuru 3 trial, you ignored the Palestine Action trial, you ignored the Stop Cop City trials, you ignored African Stream ban, you probably plan to ignore Samidoun being labeled a 'terrorist organization' too. the left has to take this level of repression seriously." @PawelWargan: "In a shocking escalation, the US and Canada have designated @SamidounPP as a terrorist organization. We must be clear, this act now expands the use of a designation intended to discredit liberation movements to those who stand in solidarity with them. Everyone is at risk." @AntiRacistSouth: "This is counterinsurgency strategy at work. To label those resisting oppression as “criminal”— or worse, “terrorist”— is to simultaneously try to separate them from the “general population”, to make them “untouchables”, priming the pump for reprisals and repression. Resist this." @OutVertigo: "This [Samidoun terrorist designation] is insane but unfortunately expected. Everyone in the west was busy chanting free palestine while drunk and forgot the importance of decriminalizing resistance and prioritized stupid symbolic gestures that have hindered material actions. This should scare you." @UnityOfFields: "As state repression against militants escalates, the most dangerous possible thing the movement could do is isolate, abandon, or condemn the people facing the brunt of the repression. An attack on one of us is an attack on us all." @UnityOfFields: "🧵 The attack against Samidoun using FTO designation was foreshadowed by Biden/Harris admin statements alleging links to FTOs and foreign govts, repeating Netanyahu's speech to Congress in July; something our recent article on censorship discusses. The way to respond to these attacks is to aggressively criticize them and stand with Samidoun in defending against them. As we said in the linked article: "If ruling class repression succeeds in silencing resistance through their censorship, then that repression stands as a monument to their power, maintaining a disciplining effect over the rest of the public. But if they fail, if our message continues thru the persistence of militants and through the regeneration of the movement with the entry of new participants, the enemy stands exposed and the opposite lessons are learned: that resistance is possible, making victory imaginable. It is for this reason that it is critically important to strain our resources to uncompromisingly increase resistance speech during and in the wake of discrete instances of repression, exposing the enemy and demonstrating our commitment and steadfastness in the struggle." Do not let this attack stop you from speaking the truth. This is all that Samidoun has done, expressing political solidarity w/ a liberation movement actively resisting US imperialism & Zionism. Fear is normal, but to give in to it is to submit to the terror of monsters. The people leading this attack are directly responsible for the genocide in Gaza. They are the criminals and they will face justice. We can make sure of it. But we must remain steadfast, stand on our principles, and refuse to back down. This is the ONLY defense we have. If we shrink from the task they will come for others and each time we will meet it weaker and more disorganized. Find your courage and stand with resistance."

Anonymous submission targeting the New York Pig Department: Early on the morning of October 15th, we, people of conscience and revolutionary mind, targeted a car of the New York Pig Department-trained CUNY Public Occupiers on CUNY Brooklyn College's campus. We condemn the CUNY administration, the Brooklyn College administration, and the kkkillers of the NYPD, for their complacency in the genocide of the people of the nation of Palestine and the destruction of Lebanon and Yemen, and for their oppression and destruction of the New York City community. We demand the end of the BC Study in Occupied Palestine Program that sends ripe new settlers and hopeful IOF reservists to learn in Haifa, Al Naqab ("Negev"), Yaffa ("Tel Aviv"), and Al Quds ("East Jerusalem") while the zionist entity has destroyed every last university in Gaza. We demand cops OFF of Brooklyn College's campus. We demand that tuition be made FREE once again. ...This is the reality of the militarization and the violent enforcement of white supremacist hegemony in amerikkka -- the violent hegemony that lynched Derrell Mickles, maimed and permanently disabled two others at Sutter Ave -- which we aim to dismantle, brick by brick, pig car by pig car. We have answered NYC Rev Youth's call to take action on the pigs of all NYC campuses between the dates of 10/14-10/22 and encourage everyone reading this to go out and do the same. We ALL have a duty to rout the standing pig military from our cities, our nation, and our campuses. To the pigs, BC admin and CUNY admin: we will be back again and again until you take your grimy, genocidal talons out of the hearts of the people of the Middle East. STOP COP NATION! HANDS OFF THE MIDDLE EAST! FREE PALESTINE!​​​​​​​ Read the full statement
