A missile was fired from south Lebanon towards Israel on Thursday.

The Israeli army confirmed the rocket and then carried out retaliation strikes on the site from where the rocket launched.

A Palestinian citizen of Israel was killed on Thursday morning when he was shot by unknown assailants in the city of Qalansuwa. 

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, 55-year-old Walid Natour was shot on his way to the morning prayers in a local mosque.

A burnt-out vehicle suspected of being used in the murder was later found.

Israeli Army Radio claimed on Thursday that the elite forces found a small drone during their invasion of Jenin that was allegedly intended to carry explosives.

According to the radio stations, militants could have caused severe damage if they had managed to attach explosive devices to the drone.

The report could be referring to a small drone that was apparently used to track Israeli activities was pictured in Jenin some months ago.

Israeli occupation forces raided several areas across Jerusalem and the West Bank on Thursday to arrest Palestinians.

In dawn raids in the Jenin Governorate – just two days after its lethal operation in Jenin refugee camp – the army detained Mujahid Qabha from the town of Tura, while Muhammad Abu Seif was arrested from Silat al-Dhahr.

In Qalqilya, Moamen Nazzal and Moatasem Sweilem were arrested.

Two other Palestinians, Ahmed Abu Adi and Muhammad Abu Warda, were arrested in Kafr Ni'ma, west of Ramallah.

In occupied Jerusalem, Ahmed Damdum, Alaa Abu Tayah, and Bahaa Abu Al-Hamam were arrested.

This evening, Wednesday, settlers attacked citizens' vehicles at the northern entrance to Al-Bireh, with stones.

Local sources reported that about 100 settlers gathered near the northern entrance of Al-Bireh and threw stones at passing citizens' vehicles, which shattered the windows of a number of them.

Israeli observers doubted that the military operation against the city of Jenin and its refugee camp in the northern West Bank had achieved all of its required objectives.

The Israeli army began at dawn yesterday (Monday) a large-scale military operation against the city and camp of Jenin, with an air attack.
The operation that u

About 1,000 soldiers backed by helicopters and drones reported the killing of 12 Palestinians and one Israeli soldier.

Late yesterday evening (Tuesday), the Israeli army withdrew from Jenin camp after a military operation that lasted for 45 hours.

Separately, Israeli observers told Xinhua that the military operation on Jenin "did not achieve all its objectives."

The writer and political analyst, Zvi Barel, described the military operation on Jenin as a "show" operation, and came to serve the political goals of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Netanyahu is facing widespread popular pressure after resuming the push for judicial legislation aimed at limiting the role of the Supreme Court, in addition to his trial in corruption cases.

"The loss of political control by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has resulted in a showy military operation," Bariel told Xinhua.

He added, "There is no one in the army, the Shin Bet (General Security) or even on the right who believes that such an operation will eliminate terrorism in the refugee camp in Jenin, or in Jenin, Nablus or East Jerusalem."

The Israeli army said that the operation came "to combat terrorism in the city of Jenin and its camp."

The Israeli media described the operation as the "biggest" since Operation Defensive Shield in the West Bank in 2002.

The spokesman for the Israeli army, Daniel Hagari, told the Hebrew public radio that the intelligence information "was not sufficient to reach all the targets in the Jenin camp, and that many armed cells withdrew outside the camp."

Hagari added that the military operation in Jenin and its camp "is not the last that the army will carry out, and it may be forced to return if necessary."

The Israeli army spokesman described the operation as "complicated in a hostile environment," noting that during the operation, "300 Palestinians were arrested, 30 of whom are believed to be wanted within the objectives of the operation."

Hagari indicated that the main objective of the operation is "to prevent the Jenin camp from being converted into a haven for terrorists, in addition to destroying the military infrastructure, including laboratories for the manufacture of explosives and places for storing explosive devices."

"This is not a broad and meaningful military campaign," writer and political analyst Avi Issacharoff told Xinhua.

Issacharoff added, "The campaign may serve the political goals of Benjamin Netanyahu, but unfortunately, shortly after the Israeli army left the alleys of the camp (Jenin), the gunmen will return to it and resume operations from there."

The Jenin camp, which was established in 1953, is a hotbed of conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. In April 2002, the Israeli army launched Operation Defensive Wall against the camp, killing 52 Palestinians and 23 Israeli soldiers, according to the United Nations.

An Israeli military spokesman told the Hebrew public radio yesterday (Tuesday) that the operation took place because about 50 attacks were launched from Jenin since last year.

According to United Nations estimates, between 15,000 and 20,000 people live in the Jenin refugee camp, which covers an area of ​​less than half a square kilometer.

Israel took control of the West Bank along with East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 war, and has maintained control over these lands that the Palestinians want to establish their future state on, despite international criticism.

Issacharoff said the images of Palestinian dead in Jenin could give Netanyahu a few more weeks or months of stability in his particularly unstable government, noting that since the beginning of Netanyahu's right-wing government we have seen a "dramatic rise in operations."

In conjunction with the military operation in Jenin, ten Israelis were injured, three of them seriously, in a run-over operation in the coastal city of Tel Aviv in central Israel, which was carried out by a Palestinian from Hebron on Tuesday.

More than 190 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli bullets, while 25 people have been killed in Israel in attacks carried out by Palestinians since the beginning of this year.

Issacharoff said that the operation in Tel Aviv is just "another example" of the escalating pace of operations against Israelis since the Netanyahu government took over.

The Israeli writer and political analyst added, "The campaign in Jenin constitutes a palliative pill, at best, for a difficult, incurable disease. It may reduce the danger of the Jenin camp in terms of weapons, but it certainly will not lead to a real reduction in the number of attempted operations."

The families of two Israelis detained in Gaza since 2014-2015 and two Israeli soldiers who were killed in the Palestinian Strip came to Geneva on Wednesday, for the first time together, to request assistance from the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The Palestinian Hamas movement keeps the bodies of two Israeli soldiers, Aron Shaul Hadar Goldin, who were killed during the 2014 war in the Strip.

The movement is also holding two Israeli civilians who entered the Palestinian enclave of their own accord in 2014 and 2015, respectively, and are believed to be alive.

These two Israelis are Avraham Mengistu, a Jew of Ethiopian origin, and Hisham Al-Sayed, a Bedouin Muslim, and the Hebrew state says that they suffer from mental disorders.

This is the first time that the four families have traveled together to Geneva to seek help from the international community and meet UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk and ICRC Vice-President Gilles Carbonaire.

"I have no information about my son," said Leah Goldin, the mother of one of the two dead soldiers, whose body has been in Gaza for nine years.

"I came here, to Geneva, where all questions are, where all human rights issues are discussed. It's time to act," he added.

The fate of the missing soldiers is a particularly sensitive topic in Israel, where the vast majority of young Jews serve in the conscription.

In recent years, several attempts have been made to exchange civilians and the remains of the two soldiers for Palestinian prisoners.

But for Ofek Shaul, there is only one thing that matters after all these years of waiting. "I want my brother," he told AFP. "I don't care how."

Leah Goldin, whose son was killed on August 1, 2014, just hours after the truce went into effect, suggested that the international community should "reverse the equation," suggesting that aid sent to the Palestinian enclave be conditional on the return of the body.

"I am not saying that all humanitarian aid should stop, but that it should be used as leverage," she said.

In response to a question by Agence France-Presse about this meeting, the International Committee of the Red Cross indicated the confidentiality of the talks, but confirmed that the families of the missing, whether they were "Israelis or Palestinians (...) have the right to know the fate of their relatives."

"The bodies of those killed during the conflict must be identified, treated with dignity and returned," the committee said, stressing that it "strives to clarify the fate of missing persons from all parties to the conflict."

The family of Mengistu, who disappeared on 7 September 2014, feels helpless.

In January, Hamas released an undated video of Mengistu, but his mother, Agarnesh Mengistu, told AFP she was not sure if the person in the video was her son.

"The most difficult thing is to understand why Hamas shows no mercy towards my son," she added crying.

But even though this is her third trip to Geneva, she still clings to hope.

On the other hand, this is the first time that Hisham Al-Sayed's parents have come to Geneva to seek help from the international community after trying to organize negotiations through the Bedouin communities.

But his father, Shaaban al-Sayed, told AFP that those efforts had failed and "we came here as a last resort in the hope that the United Nations would help us bring him home after eight years."

Since 2008, Hamas and Israel have faced each other in several wars and a series of military escalations. Last December, Hamas threatened to close the case of the four Israelis "forever" if no prisoner exchange with the Jewish state took place quickly.

The deputy head of the Hamas political bureau, Saleh al-Arouri, said, "The state of resistance in the West Bank is developing, and the occupation is horrified as it watches its development in the manner that happened in Gaza, indicating that the battle of Jenin is a model of victory and a symbol of resistance."

Al-Arouri confirmed in an interview on Al-Manar channel, on Wednesday evening, that the resistance fighters in the West Bank are resisting with the tools they have, whether with knives, pistols, and rifles, then the situation developed to use locally manufactured explosives and hand grenades, and they reached missile tests.

He pointed out that the resistance lacks tools, but the will always performs the impossible and miracles, and the occupation is fragile and unable to control the Jenin camp with an area of ​​​​1 square kilometer in the heart of the occupied land, stressing that the Jenin camp alone was able to defeat the occupation army.

In his message to the resistance, Al-Arouri said: "If this occupation, in the face of this wave of resistance that constitutes the beginning, mobilized more than two-thirds of its army in the West Bank, you can imagine if the resistance flared up at the same level in Jenin and throughout the West Bank, the situation is certainly will change.”

He added, "The battle of Jenin constitutes a model of victory, and we must conclude that if the resistance enters all regions at the same level, we have an opportunity to expel the occupation from the entire West Bank."

Al-Arouri continued, "The Jenin camp was a symbol of resistance, but all the cities and governorates of the West Bank fought their heroic battles, and I say to the strongholds of the heroes, fighters and resistance fighters in all the West Bank governorates: Enter the battle and escalate it, as happened in Jenin and more."

And he stressed that our people are capable of defeating the occupation, and they have no other choice but the resistance, and they have the opportunity to ignite a battle against the settlements and the occupation, and expel them from the West Bank, noting that the resistance in all its forms in the West Bank is effective and capable, and its true nucleus is the armed resistance, and the occupation does not leave except under Resistance strikes.

Commenting on the statements of the Israeli Minister of War, Benny Gantz, that his army will practice in the West Bank what it practices in Gaza, Al-Arouri said: "The result in Gaza was the uprooting of the occupation and its defeat, and its transformation into a base for the resistance that defends all our people, and if the occupation wants to practice the same policy in the West Bank, it will end." By defeating it, he will be uprooted and thrown out of the bank.

He stressed that there is no realistic option to confront the occupation except the resistance and the unity of our people in the field, pointing out that the Zionist project is witnessing for the first time in its history a government of fascists, Nazis and criminals, and we are required to unify our position and confront this government with all methods of resistance, the most important of which is armed resistance.

Al-Arouri warned that the movement works, supports and cooperates with all the resistance fighters regardless of their factional affiliations, and its title is resistance to the occupation, indicating that unity in the field is achieved much better than the official situation, and we spare no effort until we reach understandings with all factions.

He pointed out that every generation of our people has a battle with the occupation, saying: "Today's youth, I tell them that this stage should not pass without having an achievement in the resistance record."

Al-Arouri pointed out that the movement was during the battle in Jenin, in a direct meeting with the Secretary-General of the Jihad movement and with Muhammad al-Hindi, saying: "The fighters were together on the ground, and we and the Islamic Jihad are in the right direction."

He added, "One of our most important jobs as Palestinian leaders is to gather the largest possible number of resistance fighters and supporters of the resistance among our people and our nation, so that they form a single line in the face of the Zionist project."

He pointed out that the movement was a few days ago on a visit to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and there is no doubt that it has a very advanced position in the face of the Zionist project, and it is proud of that and is paying a price for it.

And he indicated that the meetings revolved around all components of the resistance working together so that we could gather our ranks at a time when the ranks of the enemy are dispersed, stressing that the occupation's relations are bad with the world, and therefore the normalization projects in the region have declined.

On Wednesday evening, it was revealed that an Israeli woman holding Russian and American citizenship had been kidnapped by an armed group in a Kurdish area in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, the kidnapped woman entered Iraq with her Russian passport 4 months ago, and was kidnapped while she was wandering in a Kurdish region in Iraq.

And the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the kidnapping of Elizabeth Tsurkov, blaming Iraq for her life, and indicating that she is alive.

He indicated that she was kidnapped by the pro-Iranian Iraqi Hezbollah group.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said, on Wednesday evening, that his forces will operate more freely in Jenin and its camp after the operation, which was carried out over two days and lasted for 48 hours, during which all its objectives were achieved, as he claimed.

Gallant added in a press briefing to Israeli military correspondents: "We have caused great damage to the infrastructure for production and manufacturing operations, and destroyed all the production plants that were established in Jenin."

He claimed that there are dozens of sites inside Jenin, including workshops for the production of improvised explosive devices, laboratories, weapon storage sites, rooms for managing communications, fighting and monitoring the camp, and tunnels. The IDF and the Shin Bet are once again free to operate in Jenin. As he said and claimed.

He pointed out that this process will allow the use of fewer forces in the future than those that were used in military operations to move in the alleys of Jenin and carry out tasks.

He said, "Despite all the talk on Tik Tok by those gunmen in Jenin, their bragging and their defiance of us, but at the moment of truth they chose to hide or flee." According to his claim.

Gallant again accused Iran of being behind financing the armed cells in Jenin through the Islamic Jihad movement and other parties, pointing out that it is trying to inflame the situation in the West Bank.

He repeated his recent statements about his forces changing methods, taking the initiative, and attacking as they did against the Jihad in Gaza.

The Jenin Battalion of the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement announced the death of eight of its fighters on Wednesday, including their 21-year-old leader Ahmed Muhammad Al-Amer during the Israeli aggression on Jenin camp, which lasted for two days.

The martyrs are: Samih Firas Abu Al-Wafa (20 years old), Majdi Younes Arrawi (17 years old), Aws Hani Hanoun (19 years old), Ali Hani Al-Ghoul (17 years old), Abdul Rahman Hassan Hardan (17 years old) and Hussam Muhammad Abu Dhiba (18 years old). Noureddine Hossam Marshoud (16 years old).

Meanwhile, the Islamic Jihad movement announced the martyrdom of four of its fighters, namely: Jawad Mujahid Nairat (20 years old), Muhammad Muhannad al-Shami (26 years old), Uday Ibrahim Khamaysa (20 years old), and Mustafa Imad Qassem (16 years old).

The Jenin Battalion confirmed that the march of resistance will not stop, and the blood of the martyrs will fuel the continuation of the confrontation and struggle until liberation and return.

Siham Al-Na'ja returned to her home in the Jenin refugee camp, only to discover the damage caused to it after Israel announced the end of its massive military operation in the northern occupied West Bank and the withdrawal of its forces.

The city of Jenin and the refugee camp adjacent to it are a regular scene of confrontations between Israeli forces and Palestinians, but the latest Israeli operation was the most violent in years.

"There is no electricity, no water, nothing... the food was spoiled in the refrigerator," said Siham, 53, as she inspected the rooms of her house, whose windows were smashed, furniture scattered, and pictures removed from the walls.

Looking among the belongings of her house lying on the ground, she points out that she was one of the thousands of Jenin camp residents who were displaced from their homes two days ago during the clashes.

In the kitchen of the house, the floor was covered with sugar and in another room a broken plastic toy was thrown on the floor.
Siham accused the Israeli forces of stealing money and gold from her apartment.

The Israeli army did not immediately respond to an AFP request to comment on the allegations.

The Israeli army said in a previous statement that its forces had "confiscated" a large amount of "terror money".

About 18,000 Palestinian refugees live in the camp, who are among the descendants of 760,000 Palestinians who fled or were expelled from their homes during the 1948 war that erupted following the declaration of the establishment of the State of Israel.

Israel confirmed that its military operation in Jenin targeted Palestinian activists, their weapons stores and infrastructure.

Palestinians believe in their right to defend themselves as they live under occupation.

The death toll from attacks, confrontations and military operations in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel since the beginning of January has risen to no less than 190 Palestinians, 26 Israelis, a Ukrainian and an Italian.

These figures include combatants and civilians, including minors, from the Palestinian side. On the Israeli side, most of the dead were civilians.

About 2.9 million Palestinians live in the West Bank, excluding East Jerusalem, in addition to half a million Jews in illegal settlements under international law.

Israel has occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 1967.

Israel began its military operation at dawn on Monday, in which hundreds of soldiers participated. It included air strikes and armored bulldozers.

Mahdi Jalaisa, 18, points with his hand at a bag of food with Hebrew labels that he says were abandoned by Israeli soldiers.

"The army entered the camp and the first thing it did was (launch) air strikes," he added.

"They entered the house. They detained us on the ground floor, without food or water," he said, holding a cigarette.

He notes that they asked the soldiers to provide them with water, but they refused.

In the camp's streets strewn with bullet casings, residents survey the massive devastation of the attack that killed 12 Palestinians and an Israeli soldier, and wander among piles of rubble and cut electricity wires.

Among the many wrecked vehicles, one of them tried to remove some belongings from the trunk of his brother's vehicle.
In another nearby street, a woman is clearing rubble and says that an Israeli air strike targeted a site next to her house, and the walls of the building opposite appeared charred black.

After the displacement of about three thousand camp residents from their homes, calls came to donate and support them.

Heaps of baby diapers, food and other aid filled the city's hospital courtyards.

At one of the distribution points inside the camp, Khader Masalha is organizing the operation.

The 35-year-old says that the bloody military operation will have a long-term and permanent impact, as "the destruction is comprehensive in terms of material and psychological aspects, especially on children and the elderly."

"For two full days... they were deprived of any smile on their faces," he added, referring to young children and the psychological trauma left by their suffering during the confrontations.

Israeli occupation forces completely downed about 300 houses, as well as damaging water and electricity networks, during their two-day invasion of Jenin refugee camp. 

400 to 500 other houses were also damaged, according to the Jenin municipality spokesman Bashir Matahen.

The Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, Hatem Al-Bakri, said, "The settlers, under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces, stormed the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque 19 times, while the occupation prevented the call to prayer 46 times in the Ibrahimi Mosque during the month of June."

Al-Bakri stated, in a report issued by the Ministry, today, Wednesday, that the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city of Jerusalem was subjected to settler incursions daily, except for Saturday and Friday, in the morning and evening periods, in addition to continuing the repeated attacks on the Ibrahimi Mosque in the city of Hebron, in an attempt to impose the temporal and spatial division. .

He explained that the storming of hundreds of settlers during the aforementioned month, led by the extremist former member of the Knesset, Yehuda Gelik, and a number of extremist Jewish leaders, constitutes an explicit and clear attack on the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which is under fierce Israeli attack.

The ministry warned of the seriousness of the Judaization steps in Bab al-Rahma, where settlers hold biblical educational classes in front of the chapel.

Al-Bakri denounced the settlers' opening, in the presence of their leadership, of the electric elevator in the Haram, which is considered an infringement on its powers and on the history of the Ibrahimi Mosque.

He stressed that the reconstruction and reform of the Ibrahimi Mosque is the competence of the Ministry of Endowments according to international laws, noting that the endowments have faced these attacks and violations from the outset at all levels.

Dozens of settlers had stormed the Al-Ishaqiya area in the Ibrahimi Mosque, under the threat and force of arms and under the protection of the occupation forces, and assaulted the employees of the sanctuary.

With regard to Islamic and Christian sanctities and religious places, the report monitored the settlers' storming of Islamic shrines in the town of Kifl Haris, north of Salfit, where they performed Talmudic rituals during the storming process, and the movement of citizens and movement was prevented in several side roads inside the town.

The occupation forces attacked the Al-Assir Mosque in the Jabriyat area in Jenin, and the settlers attacked the Al-Rabat Mosque in the village of Orif in Nablus, and tore up the Qur’an.

The occupation municipality in Jerusalem, under pressure from the settlers, also forced the residents of the town of Beit Safafa to remove the dome of the Al-Rahman Mosque in the town to shorten its height, and change its color from golden to silver.

A year ago, the occupation municipality issued a decision to demolish the upper floor of the mosque and the dome under the pretext of building without a permit.

The Israeli occupation forces also stormed the Suleiman Pools tourist area, south of Bethlehem, where they stationed at the Three Pools area, amid strict military measures.

Throngs of Palestinians gathered in Jenin on Wednesday to mourn nine Palestinian martyrs who were killed in the Israel's invasion of the occupied West Bank city.

Thousands arrived from across the West Bank to join the procession, which departed from Jenin Governmental Hospital towards the city and the refugee camp before noon today.

The mourners chanted slogans condemning the crimes of the occupation and calling for national unity.

The mourners also called on the international community to intervene and provide protection for Palestinians against ongoing Israeli aggression and crimes.

The Israeli occupation forces launched a large-scale operation on the city of Jenin, which resulted in the death of 12 Palestinians, including five minors, and more than 140 injuries, 30 of them in a serious condition.

An Israeli police vehicle came under fire from resistance fighters near Nablus on Wednesday evening.

According to Israeli station Channel 12, the vehicle was hit by a single gunshot, and a shop in front of which it was parked was hit by another gunshot.

No injuries were reported during the incident.

Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hajari said, on Wednesday, that there is no magic solution to "terrorism", and therefore operations will continue in Jenin to reach all those he described as "wanted".

Hajari claimed, in an interview with the Ynet studio, that the operation achieved its goals represented in preventing Jenin and its camp from being a haven for militants, in addition to damaging the infrastructure of the armed cells, with a focus on manufacturing factories and the production of explosive devices.

He pointed out that the control, control and surveillance rooms were destroyed with cameras surrounding all areas of the camp to help the armed cells to control it in a way that makes it difficult for the Israeli army forces to operate in it.

"The joint operation with the Shin Bet, which provided excellent intelligence, allowed our forces to neutralize the threats that we found, and there were large and accurate air operations," Hagari said.

He pointed out that his forces killed 12 armed men, according to his claim, and arrested 300 suspects who are being interrogated by the Shin Bet, pointing out that 30 of them were those who were being searched for, and hundreds of explosives, weapons, ammunition, money, and important places for storing weapons and others were found.

Hajari said, "In the end, we have to remember that there is no silver bullet for terrorism. This requires us to continue working, and we will return to Jenin as soon as we have intelligence about activists or wanted persons planning attacks."

Regarding the lack of access to the perpetrators of the "Harmish" operation near Tulkarm, which led to the killing of a settler, and it is believed that the perpetrators reached the Jenin camp, the Israeli army spokesman said: This was one of the objectives of the operation, but there is an important rule in our operations, which is that if early intelligence information is available, it Risks can be taken to thwart any attacks, but unfortunately there was no information, but we will get to the person who carried out this attack and hold him accountable.

He claimed that his forces worked according to a systematic plan drawn from the depth of intelligence led by the Shin Bet, whose officers worked in the operation and accompanied the soldiers on their missions, and this achieves good results.

The Israeli military police arrested a soldier after a complaint was filed against him by a Palestinian who was robbed by the soldier in the city of Jericho.

According to the Hebrew website Ynet, the soldier is suspected of assaulting and robbing a Palestinian about two months ago. A complaint was filed at the time and was not dealt with until recently. The soldier was arrested a few days ago and referred for investigation.

According to preliminary investigations, during a military mission, the soldier, along with another, assaulted the Palestinian, before the arrested soldier stole his money and mobile phone.

Investigations indicate that the two soldiers stopped a Palestinian's vehicle with two women and a man inside. They searched him, stripped him of his clothes, cursed him and photographed him, before one of them seized his money and mobile phone.

The site indicated that the other soldier denied what was attributed to him, despite the documentation of a camera confirming this, and he will be interrogated later.

I read the novel The Seventh Side by the prisoner sentenced to nine life sentences, Kamil Abu Hanish, while I was following the barbaric Zionist storming of the Jenin camp, which began at dawn on 3/7/2023, and I saw blood, martyrs, displacement, destruction, and death that fills the sidewalks. I found in the text of the novel a prophecy and a third eye, which is the eye of the miracle. Otherwise, how would Jenin withstand the madness of the Zionist bombardment, had it not been for its seventh side? They plant their bones in the entrances as explosive devices.

In Jenin, death does not happen all at once. A lot of death is a lot of life, which is the bewilderment of the colonialists who were unable to occupy Jenin through many stages of wars, invasions and incursions, not because it possesses missiles, tanks, planes and navy fleets. There is a seventh invisible side in the camp, the key to an old house. wide gates.

People in Jenin are fighting with simple capabilities, but their dreams are heavy. They do not fragment under the hail of bombs and organized terrorism. They do not melt into massacres and fire, as the leaders of Tel Aviv think. Jenin is the heart of a country that does not extinguish, and a city inhabited by a thousand cities.

The prisoner Kamil Abu Hanish writes about the seventh dimension in the rebellious man, where time sets out in its forward line to overcome the four dimensions in prison, and destroys its architectural and perceptual architecture, so that it rises with its time to its human and civilized beauty, enormous feelings that are not shackled by chains, emotions that transcend all times, Exceeding the limited quantity, as if he is building his promised paradise like a garden suspended among the stars, digging with imagination, then building with imagination, not recognizing physical theories, making the universe its radial space swimming in its parts without limit, playing the strings of the coming life.

In Jenin, the Zionist monster is embodied, so that the city enters its seventh side, the other alternative for survival and steadfastness. This is how the first Intifada did in 1987. It made its seventh side by inventing the stone and the sling as a weapon of resistance after the Palestine Liberation Organization was besieged and the conspiracies wrung out to nullify the independent Palestinian decision and ambiguous projects, and so on The second intifada began in 2000 from its seventh side, after negotiations failed and reached a road that only leads to a settlement or to prison, death, submission and surrender. Thus, the prisoners rebelled against their life sentences and the policy of humiliation by entering the gate of the seventh side with strikes and confrontations, so they established a revolutionary authority against the authority of the jailer.

There is always a choice in front of a person, says Kamil Abu Hanish, so the gasp becomes a cry, not a suppression of breath, and a drop of water becomes a river and does not dry up in dryness. This being inherent in the human soul, which makes the impossible reality not impossible, it is the realistic embodiment of the bleeding of the imagination.

When all dimensions close around you, neither the politician has a key to break the circle, nor the international community is able to move international law and lead you into the space of justice and legal rights, and your life then becomes like dissolving and fading into the darkness, or pieces in a bomb explosion, your dreams trampled on the chains of tanks, your life All of them are funerals and calamities. There must be a seventh side that is outside the customary of the six sides, outside the familiar language in this bloody conflict, and I think that the Jenin camp is the only one that came out from its seventh side and turned the tables.

The prisoner Kamil Abu Hanish, who is wedged into opposite corners, does not fear prison and walls, but rather fears the sword of time that grinds him into himself and defines his movement, gestures, feelings, level of vigilance, and the limits of his thoughts. Let us invent the seventh direction and the seventh time after life and after death, and transcend the wires implanted as a fait accompli imposed by the conditions of strength and rotation in the spiral void, and we only have to release love from within us to the outside, for the heart is not restricted by anything, and let us save ourselves from fragmentation and disorientation, to be one. Not two, one flag, not ten flags, one homeland that is not torn apart by interests and cantons, then the savage invaders will not reach the Jenin camp and the villages of Hawara and Turmusaya, setting fires, committing massacres and spreading destruction.

The seventh side does not ask you to suffice with denunciation, denunciation, distress, wailing, and inventing grandiose vocabulary as compensation for inaction and a cure for loss. The seventh side is a new narrative, an engine and a revolution, moving forward, employing all vital energies in battle, creativity in death more than creativity in life, resistance Doctrine, vision, and actions that do not need medals. Resistance means liberation from the obsession with death and fear. It resists erasure and extermination. It cannot be swallowed up by an entity, identity, and culture. Resistance means breaking the text and invoking writing, sound, thunder, and cloud. Resistance means being inside the Jenin camp now and tomorrow. Until the Day of Resurrection, the resistance is to live in prison for twenty years, or fifty years and still resist oppression and injustice with a weapon that the jailers do not understand, which is the will.

Let us go to the seventh side, as long as this siege intensifies and suffocates us in gatherings and isolation and among the many barriers of death, the desecration of our homes and our blood daily, massacre after massacre, and let us learn from Camille Abu Hanish and Walid Daqqa how to confront them with their dreams, memories and imaginations of iron and cement, and break through closed doors, reconstruct reality And planting trees, the past makes the leaven of the present, and the present is Jenin, Jerusalem and Nablus, a novel that looks out from the seventh side like prayer or demonstration to the busy life.

How strong is memory when it revives people, martyrs and places, summons the mother and beloved, friends and martyrs, continues the journey of writing and shooting in sound, image and song, and how beautiful it is to sleep in a dream, when it takes you home free and master of all your chapters and your many destinations.

Camille Abu Hanish says: "Death on the seventh side becomes a completely normal matter, a gate similar to the gate of love and the human dream. In that side, the trio of love, dream and death, the trio of human being, continues its journey in search of the meaning of life."

One of the priorities of the right of reason is that we must use it to manage our private and public life matters, and if individuals are subject to contradictory influences between the drives of reason and the drives of emotion, then states and their leaders are supposed to prevail over reason over emotion, and even for peoples under occupation they must submit to reason and rationality in Its practice of politics and resistance, the latter is not an emotional and emotional act or a mere reaction to the occupation and its aggressive practices, but rather requires the presence of a vision and a strategy of national action, and it is the right of reason for us, as Palestinians, who are exposed to threats affecting our national existence, to stop the state of absurdity and confusion that has come to rule and guide all aspects of our lives, in Political and diplomatic action and in the approach of resistance.

The absence of reason and rationality among the political class does not always express ignorance, but rather it may be an intentional act to mislead the masses and make them live in illusions, because the discourse that is transcendent and separate from reality and that tickles the feelings of the masses without touching the mind, such as talking about adhering to national constants and emphasizing national unity or Arab solidarity And the Islamist is with the Palestinian cause and exaggerating the discourse of resistance and liberation... without a practice on the ground that is compatible with these slogans, irrational matters that harm the national cause more than it benefits it.

Indicators of departure from reason and rationality in the Palestinian political action are numerous, including those related to the official political action of the leadership and its betting on a political settlement, the United Nations and the International Criminal Court to restore our usurped rights and protect the people from the oppression of the occupation. Any international conflict, which is a bet closer to illusion and hides within it a state of incapacity and failure to carry out the national duty, including what is related to the armed resistance and its approach and the slide towards giving priority to partisan and personal interests and the calculations of a multiple external agenda.

And since we wrote and spoke at length about the failure of the political settlement approach and the illusions of betting on international legitimacy only to restore our legitimate rights, we will devote this article to the issue of the lack of rationality in the practice of armed resistance, especially the missiles launched from Gaza.

Yes, resistance is a legitimate right for the peoples under occupation, but this right must be exercised rationally and with planning in order to avoid a reaction from the enemy that inflicts more losses than the act of resistance achieves. right?

Whether we call it resistance, jihad, or a liberation movement, it falls within the context of popular resistance or a popular liberation war. Popular resistance needs an integrated national strategy that employs all the energies and capabilities of the people to confront the occupation.

We understand the state of anger and hatred against the occupation, just as we understand the state of sympathy and popular support for every militant operation that targets the enemy, whether it is firing rockets from Gaza or a commando operation in the occupied West Bank. However, reason obliges the resistance fighters to know or anticipate what the enemy will think and his reaction, and not just talk yet. The process is about heroism and victories, so the calculations of victory and defeat include action and reaction and a comparison between them, just as the enemy's reaction will not be limited to the group that carried out the fedayeen action, but the people and the entire national project will pay the price.

And let us subject the following matters to the calculations of reason and rationality, and whether dealing with these issues was indeed rational and served the national interest:

1- When the option of peace and a political settlement was adopted between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Zionist entity, and the Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements rejected this approach, the people were divided, and half of them became with a peaceful, negotiated solution, and the other half with the continuation of the armed struggle, and each party doubted and betrayed the other and worked to thwart its endeavors.

2- After the occupation army left Gaza according to the Zionist plan implemented by Sharon in the fall of 2005, the armed factions announced that the resistance in Gaza forced Israel to withdraw, and assuming that this statement was true, it was assumed and required that the state of armed resistance be transferred to the West Bank to liberate it as well, and that The Palestinians devote themselves to building and developing the Strip and proving the Palestinians’ ability to rule themselves in a democratic and rational manner, but what happened was that Hamas became the sole ruler of Gaza, and the coup took place and what was close to the civil war. Armed resistance has almost stopped in the rest of the Palestinian territories.

3- The division came and the talk of (the war on Gaza), which was invented and promoted by one of the media channels, as if the West Bank and Jerusalem were not witnessing a more serious war and aggression, and the battle became as if it was between the Zionist entity and the Gaza Strip, and in the last confrontation it seemed as if it was between the Zionist entity and the Islamic Jihad movement, and even inside In the West Bank, there was no strategy for the resistance, but sometimes we find those who question the actions of individual resistance.

4- If Hamas knows that Israel, which prevents the establishment of a sovereign authority in the West Bank, is ruled by those who have recognized it and reject military action, does Hamas believe that Israel will allow it to establish a political authority in the West Bank? And another question: Why does Hamas work to weaken the national authority in the West Bank, the authority of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the title of the national project, while Hamas stopped the armed resistance across the borders of the Gaza Strip in return for preserving its authority and the lives of its leaders?

5- Where are the rational calculations in (resisting) missiles and tunnels?

Despite the emotional feelings and feelings and state of popular support raised by the rockets from the Gaza Strip towards the occupied territories, it is through the realization of reason and logical thinking about the purpose behind launching the rockets and the consequences thereof, whether through the destructive reactions of the enemy, or the international reactions where the world is looking It is as if an attack by armed groups on a member state of the United Nations.

It is true that the resistance’s missiles create a state of panic and terror among some Israelis and affect the normal course of life, but the enemy can easily absorb the strike and restore things within days or even hours to what they were. As for the enemy’s reactions and missiles, they inflict damage with each round of war that accumulates and becomes difficult to repair. It makes the Gaza Strip and the resistance factions more subject to blackmail by the enemy and the donors, in addition to the political repercussions, as the confrontations in Gaza divert attention from what is happening in the West Bank.

Whoever thinks of confronting the enemy with missiles and spending is either patriotic but lacks any knowledge of popular liberation wars and their strategies, and therefore his work does not fall within the context of national liberation, or he works for external parties aiming to maintain tension in Palestine and on the Gaza front in favor of an agenda of its own that has nothing to do with the liberation of Palestine .

How can a resistance movement confine its resistance action to the military square in which the enemy greatly excels, and where is the rationality in thinking that missiles and tunnels can liberate the land?

Where is the rationality in a party’s control of a part of the occupied lands (Gaza Strip) that is still under occupation and siege, and the enemy controls all its outlets and controls all the people’s basic needs, including food, medicine, construction materials, travel, and trade, as well as Qatari money with which the Hamas authority pays part of the salaries its employees?!!! Nevertheless, missiles are being fired at this enemy and resistance leaders declare that they will destroy Israel and that they have achieved a balance of power and terror with it?!!!!!

Where is the rationality and the simplest requirements of the strategies of popular liberation wars when the resistance factions launch hundreds and thousands of missiles at the enemy without causing significant human or material damage to it, where the enemy preemptively called on its citizens to fortify themselves in pre-prepared shelters or to transfer them to safe places, while a single missile from the enemy could destroy Residential tower or industrial establishment and erase it completely? And the residents of the strip without shelters or safe places and under the eyes of exploration planes and observation towers?

Where is the rationality when the Hamas and Jihad movements declare their affiliation with the axis of resistance and talk about the unity of the arenas at a time when settlement, terrorism and repeated aggression continue on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque is desecrated and even controlled by the Jews... We do not hear or see any response from the axis of resistance - Iran and Syria And Hezbollah - and worse than that, the declaration of some leaders of the resistance that Gaza will not remain silent in the event of aggression against Iran!!

Finally, after what the national issue has reached and after the political class reached a dead end and became concerned with preserving its interests and privileges more than its concern for the national interest, it is required that the people stop betting on false illusions and slogans promoted by parties, whether they are slogans of international legitimacy and political settlement or slogans Resistance and jihad, especially when we have seen what happened in the West Bank and Jerusalem under an authority that put all its eggs in the basket of betting on peace and international legitimacy, and what happened in the Gaza Strip under the authority of armed resistance factions and rocket launchers.

The statement of the eighteen decisions, which was read by Mr. Nabil Abu Rudeineh on behalf of the leadership, included two points worth stopping at.

The first: Calling the secretaries-general for an emergency meeting to agree on a comprehensive national vision and unite the ranks to confront the Israeli aggression.

The second: legalizing the relationship with the American administration.

General secretaries often meet via video conference, and the candidate place for that is Beirut, where the "bran" can be present publicly, and this has happened before, and given the availability of communication technology, it is possible for Mr. Ismail Haniyeh, Khaled Meshaal or even Al-Sinwar to participate from Cairo, Doha and Gaza As for the secretaries of the PLO factions, they can all participate from Damascus, Gaza and Ramallah.

As has happened more than once, President Abbas will sit at the head of the table, and many will stop describing him - as outgoing - at least until the end of the meeting. It began sixteen years ago, i.e. in the months following the division, and it lasted thousands of hours, and it will be renewed in the emergency meeting to be arranged when the battle of Jenin, the "caller for a meeting," has come to an end, and the people of Jenin and the camp will devote themselves to restoring the destroyed infrastructure for their lives and healing the wounds of hundreds. Those who were injured in this battle and the battles that preceded it, and prepare to receive new strikes from land and air in the next round, and visit the shrines of new and old martyrs, and continue to appeal to their authority and leadership to protect them.

This is a recurring situation in our Palestinian life, where between every major battle and another a series of small battles take place on the heads of people everywhere in the homeland.

What is striking about the story of the general secretaries' calling for an emergency meeting is that the word "emergency" indicates that there are regular and periodic meetings, and this is something that does not exist.

It is also remarkable that after all the battles, wars, challenges and bloodshed that took place, the desired meeting will develop a comprehensive national vision.. as if the challenges began yesterday and require treatment today.

The meeting is a traditional procedure that is resorted to after every battle, and sometimes it is said that the meeting will remain in a permanent state! Will the emergency meeting actually take place? And how? and where? And when? We will know as long as we still listen to the radio and read the newspapers!

What is also striking is the decision to legalize the relationship with the American administration. This decision contains a paradox, which is that the ones who initiated the legalization of the relationship were the Americans, who not only legalized their diplomatic relations, but also turned against the Palestinians and changed the foundations and mechanisms of relations with them in form and substance. In form, they sent us Hadi. Amr, after the province used to receive presidents, foreign ministers, and national security advisors, and a topic..

The level of talk decreased from political to ambulatory, without concealing its main purpose, which is merely to preserve the power from collapse, and to recommend to the Israelis, when striking, not to exaggerate the use of force, while giving them political cover, which is the repetition of the American saying that Israel has the right to defend itself. .

However, reality and the truth have another facet, which is not expressed by the official authority, nor by the general secretaries who are aware of them at different times, although they are only aware of their role through the agendas of their own factions. With all its components, it is neither Iranian nor affiliated with any power and destination outside the borders of the Palestinian homeland.

It is Palestinian first and foremost, and I do not like to say last. Perhaps I need not mention that the Palestinian resistance to the occupation was born before the birth of the Iranian revolution, and Jenin is an integral part of this phenomenon.

Riyadh confirmed on Tuesday evening that "only Saudi Arabia and Kuwait" have the right to exploit natural resources in a gas field disputed with Iran, after Tehran announced its willingness to start exploration in the field located in the waters of the Gulf, which are rich in natural resources.

The field, known in Iran as "Arsh" and in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia as "Al-Durra", Tehran says is located within its exclusive economic zone, in a dispute that began several decades ago.

And the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported, according to an informed source in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that “the ownership of the natural resources in the divided submerged region, including the entire Durra field, is joint ownership between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the State of Kuwait only, and they alone have full sovereign rights to exploit the wealth in that region.” ".

The source added, "The Kingdom renews its previous calls for the Iranian side to start negotiations to demarcate the eastern border of the submerged area divided between the Kingdom and Kuwait as one negotiating party in exchange for the Iranian side."

On Monday, Kuwait renewed its call on Iran to resume maritime border demarcation talks.

Kuwait insists that it has "exclusive rights" to the offshore field with Saudi Arabia, and the two countries agreed to develop it jointly last year.

Last year, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia signed an agreement to develop the field, despite objections from Tehran, which described the deal as "illegal".

Last week, the executive director of the National Iranian Oil Company, Mohsen Khajesteh Mehr, said, "We are completely ready to start drilling operations in the Arash field," according to what was reported by Iran's Fars news agency.

Khajeste Mehr's remarks came as Riyadh and Tehran strengthened their cooperation in the wake of a surprising decision to resume relations announced in March, after relations had been severed between the two rival regional powers for seven years.

The dispute over the Dorra field dates back to the sixties of the last century, when Iran granted a maritime concession to the Anglo-Iranian oil company, which later became "BP", while Kuwait granted the concession to "Royal Dutch Shell".

The two concessions overlap in the northern part of the field, whose natural gas reserves are estimated at 220 billion cubic meters.

Iran and Kuwait have held talks for years about their gas-rich maritime borders, but they have all failed.

Saudi Arabia is part of the conflict, given that it shares offshore gas and oil resources with Kuwait in the region.

Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv stated that two of those injured in Tuesday's ramming and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv are still in a critical condition.

According to the hospital, quoted by the Hebrew site Channel Seven, the two people are in intensive care. The other patients remain in hospital but are in a light or moderate condition.

The attack was carried out by Hamas activist Abdel-Wahhab Khalayleh, a resident of Al-Samou’ in Hebron.

The Israeli army spokesman said on Wednesday morning that an investigation has been launched to find out the exact circumstances that led to the death of the soldier in Jenin refugee camp on Tuesday night.

In an interview with the public broadcaster Kan radio station, the spokesman Daniel Hajari said that the soldier was killed at the end of the operation in Jenin, during the start of the withdrawal, and it is likely that he was killed by shrapnel when an explosive device exploded.

The Israeli army announced that the man that was killed was 23-year-old, David Yehuda Yitzhak, serving with the rank of sergeant-major. He was a resident of the Beit El settlement, built on Palestinian lands in the greater Ramallah area, and he served in the intelligence reconnaissance unit.

Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of the "Hamas" movement, and the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad movement, Ziyad al-Nakhala, praised what they described as the "victory" achieved by the resistance and the people of Jenin camp over the Israeli occupation.

Haniyeh said in a statement, "We pay tribute to the mujahideen heroes in the camp and the people stationed in the incubator of the resistance and its flowing reservoir, who wrote a new page in the record of glory and honor in repelling aggression and pursuing the aggressors."

He added: "All options for supporting Jenin and its heroes were on the table, and the heroic operation in Tel Aviv and what is happening in the various regions of the West Bank is nothing but an expression that the Palestinian people, with all its components and in its various locations, embraced Jenin and supported it in its heroic battle, and that the resistance is its address and its strategic choice." To repel the aggression and defeat the occupation from our Palestinian lands.” like he said.

He continued, "We have delivered clear messages to the enemy through all parties that the resistance in all arenas is not far from what is happening, and the enemy must stop its aggression immediately."

He continued: "Despite the rise of the martyrs and the fall of the wounded, as a result of the treacherous aggression on the Jenin camp, the resistance taught the enemy a harsh lesson and inflicted heavy losses on it. our people again."

And the head of the Hamas movement sent a message to the occupation, in which he said: "We say to the enemy that the time has passed when you practice your aggression against our people without paying the price, and this is Jenin today teaching you a lesson in resistance and steadfastness, and before that our glorious heroes in all the streets and alleys of our dear shore, and what a battle." Saif al-Quds, "which the resistance fought from the land of Gaza, pride is far from you."

For his part, al-Nakhala said in a press statement to him, "The great Palestinian people scored a great victory by defeating the aggression against Jenin and its camp, and the Jenin battalion and its valiant fighters led this great victory with courage and heroism, and the Palestinian people with their unity and rally around the mujahideen proved that they can defeat the enemy in every confrontation." He is waging it, from the battle of Saif al-Quds to the battle of the unity of the arenas and the battle of revenge of the free to the battle of Jenin. like he said.

Al-Nakhala added: "These are battles of glory recorded by the Palestinian people and their resistance forces, foremost of which is the Al-Quds Brigades. In these historical moments, Jenin emerges from its core, cheering for the mujahideen and the Jenin Battalion. These are moments of glory and glory that will remain present in the march of our people until the final victory."

He called for national solidarity in order to strengthen the steadfastness of the Jenin camp so that it remains an inspiring address for revolution, defiance, jihad and resistance.

Last night, two young men were killed in two murders that took place in two different areas of the occupied interior.
