This morning, occupation forces carried out a massacre in Jenin amid widespread Palestinian resistance. Occupation forces killed nine Palestinian martyrs, including a 61-year-old woman, and they were denied medical attention due to the presence of both occupation snipers and tear gas/targetting of hospitals and makeshift clinics. Occupation forces rampaged through the streets, targeting Palestinian civilian homes with RPGs and live bullets while using bulldozers to overturn residents’ cars in a deliberate callback to the 2002 Jenin massacre.
The following are the latest details that we have regarding the names of the martyrs of Jenin:
1- The martyr Ezz El-Din Yassin Zaid (19 years old) – from Jenin camp.
2- The martyr Saeb Essam Mahmoud Zreiki (26 years old).
3- The martyr Abdullah Marwan Al-Ghoul (18 years old).
4- Martyr Mohammad Sadeq Jarrar (23 years old)
5- Martyr Magda Obaid (61 years old)
6- Martyr Mutasim Mahmoud Abu Al-Hassan (21 years old) – Al-Yamoun
7- Martyr Amjad Aref Al-Jaas (22 years old) – Jenin camp
8- Martyr Nour Sami Ghoneim – Burqin
9- Martyr Mohammad Sami Ghoneim – Burqin
There are at least 20 injured, some critically, and the number of the martyrs is expected to rise. Ahmad Ghoneim, the brother of Nour and Mohammed, is in severely critical condition. A general strike has been called throughout the West Bank and Palestinians have taken to the streets in thousands to mourn the martyrs and confront the occupiers with resistance, from the colonially imposed borders of Gaza to checkpoints and military bases throughout occupied Palestine.
As always, these attacks are combined with kidnappings and arrests — imprisonment and extrajudicial killing are dual crimes of the colonizer. Among those seized by the occupation is Ziad Sabbagh, the son of Ala’ Sabbagh, a martyr of Jenin in the Al-Aqsa Intifada.
Jenin is bleeding and resisting, refusing security coordination with the occupation and continuing to struggle, despite massacre after massacre, with the entire Palestinian people for the liberation of Palestine. This latest massacre must urge us all to take action and organize, to support the Palestinian people and their resistance on the front lines of struggle for justice and liberation.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network received this message from Palestinian prisoners in occupation jails to all of those who have participated in the international events and actions during the Week of Action to Free Ahmad Sa’adat and All Palestinian Prisoners, 14-24 January 2023. The message was read aloud during the mass demonstration in Gaza, organized by the Handala Center for Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners, concluding the week of action on 24 January 2023.
A message from the prisoners of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in the occupation jails to the supporters of the international campaign to free Ahmad Sa’adat and all Palestinian prisoners:
In recent years, many people have been told that we have reached the end of the revolutionary era, that the time of revolutionaries is over, and only liberalism, individualism and selfishness are dominant in this world. However, proof that this world is still turbulent with revolutionary spirit is found in the international campaign of solidarity with the leader Ahmad Sa’adat, Abu Ghassan. He is a revolutionary shout that reminds the world that revolution is not only an idea and a choice, but a human duty as well.
The voice of Abu Ghassan, the imprisoned leader, is a revolutionary shout from the depths of the dungeons of the enemy, reminding us of the revolution’s symbols and goals, including lifting injustice and oppression from people wherever they are. Palestine is not an imagined geography, it is part of this world and still represents the destination of revolutionaries everywhere.
To all comrades in the international campaign spread throughout the world…To the free people of the world…Your support for the leader Ahmad Sa’adat is an integral and important part of all efforts calling for and promising revolutionary upsurge to confront the forces of occupation and injustice. Continue your struggle, support and solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners’ movement and with freedom fighters around the world. These efforts remain a source of pride for all of us.
Finally, this brief message of ours does not come only to support Abu Ghassan, but rather what he embodies and represents: steadfastness, dignity and humanity in the face of injustice. The cause of the prisoners transcends borders, geographies, walls and parallel time. It is a revolution confronting injustice in which our prisoners unite with all of the revolutionary prisoners around the world in the dungeons of oppression and persecution, especially Comrade Georges Abdallah and many other sons and daughters of the revolution.
Until we meet one day on the land of liberated Palestine,
Your comrades in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in the occupation prisons
Rally to demand the immediate release of Ahmad Sa’adat, Ahmad Manasra, and all Palestinian prisoners, and to honor the martyrs of Palestine!
Come out and have your voice be heard! Join Samidoun NY/NJ and Within Our Lifetime – United for Palestine! Free Ahmad Sa’adat, Free Ahmad Manasra, Free All Palestinian Prisoners!
Palestinian prisoner Maher Younes was liberated from Israeli occupation prisons on Thursday, 19 January 2022 after 40 years behind bars. Younes was the longest consecutively-held Palestinian prisoner after the release of his cousin, Karim Younes, on 5 January. Samidoun extends its salutes to Maher Younes for his years of steadfastness and resistance behind bars as a leader of the liberation movement.
Immediately following his release from occupation prisons, he traveled to the ‘Ara cemetery in his hometown in occupied Palestine ’48 to visit his father’s grave, where he was received by his cousin Karim. His release comes after several days of ongoing attacks on Younes’ family by occupation forces, including multiple threats of arrest if any celebrations are held in public for his freedom, especially those raising the Palestinian flag, while his brothers and other relatives were taken for interrogation. Occupation officials ordered extensive police, special units and intelligence units deployed in ‘Ara and around the Younes family home to prevent by force any celebrations of his liberation.
Two days before his release, Maher Younes was transferred to interrogation and then to isolation in Ohli Kedar prison, in order to even prevent a collective celebration with his fellow prisoners of his liberation. Guards stormed his section of the Naqab desert prison and snatched him away, at that time to an unknown location. Despite all of this, however, people flocked from the town to the Younes home to welcome him with love and honor after 40 years behind the bars of the occupation.
The images of Karim Younes’ celebration two weeks ago, which reflected the unbreakable will of the Palestinian prisoners and the Palestinian people, and the deep rootedness in the land of Palestine despite a century of colonization, were followed by a series of threats by occupation officials such as Itamar Ben-Gvir, including an order to ban the flying of the Palestinian flag and threats by Zionist interior minister Aryeh Deri to strip both Karim and Maher Younes of their citizenship. (On the day before Maher Younes’ release, Deri was ruled ineligible to hold his position due to his multiple prior convictions for corruption.)
Despite all of the threats and attempts at intimidation and silencing, Maher Younes’ release and return home, like that of his cousin Karim and all Palestinian prisoners, has only once again illustrated that the commitment of the Palestinian people to liberation has not been and never will be quenched by arrests, killings and colonial conquest.
Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network congratulates Maher Younes, his family and the entire Palestinian people upon his release. We know that the joy of his release will only be complete with the liberation of all Palestinian prisoners — and the liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea. On the occasion of Maher Younes’ release, we pledge once more to work tirelessly for the liberation of all 4,750 Palestinian leaders, resisters, strugglers and revolutionaries in occupation prisons.
Two members of Neturei Karta, the religious Orthodox Jewish movement committed to anti-Zionism, have been arrested by the Israeli occupation after meeting with Palestinian leaders and former prisoners in Jenin, including the family of imprisoned Palestinian leader Bassam al-Saadi and former hunger striker Maher al-Akhras. Anti-Zionist Rabbi Simon Roodi is currently held as a political prisoner, while Elhanan Lax was released under restrictive conditions after being arrested earlier in the past week. Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network demands the immediate release of the anti-Zionist political prisoners along with all Palestinian political prisoners in occupation prisons.
Neturei Karta held a press conference in New York City on 17 January to demand the release of the anti-Zionist rabbi as well as all Palestinian prisoners, declaring that the order for the arrest “came from national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a leading member of the new extreme right wing Israeli government, who has a history of hostility to anti Zionist Jews.”
During the visit to Jenin, highlighting that anti-Zionist Jews do not recognize the legitimacy of the Zionist state and instead stand with the Palestinian people and the liberation of all of Palestine, Rabbi Roodi said: “Zionism has no connection with Judaism. Zionism merely uses Judaism as a vehicle to achieve its goals. Traditional Jews who believe in the Torah have no part in the Zionist conquest and occupation. The state is completely forbidden according to Torah law.”
Members of Neturei Karta visited Jenin on 9 January in an event widely covered in the Palestinian press, where they met with Ata Abu Rmaileh as well as Maher al-Akhras, who Neturei Karta members had also visited in the hospital during his hunger strike for liberation from administrative detention, imprisonment without charge or trial. During the visit, they declared: “No matter how time passes. We will continue to adhere to our dream and our common goals. We want Palestine with its capital, Jerusalem, and the Palestinian rule, so that we can live happily.”
The arrests have come after several attacks on anti-Zionist demonstrators in Jerusalem by Israeli occupation forces. The current ultra-right Zionist government finds it unacceptable that anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews, who lived in Palestine before Zionism and the Nakba, continue to serve as a living reminder and example that Zionism does not represent a monolithic Jewish identity nor Jewish religious identity, and that neither the secular nor the religious anti-Zionist perspectives among Jews have been erased or suppressed despite the military dominance of the Zionist state. Further, Neturei Karta’s support for Palestinian self-determination and sovereignty once again underlines the reality that the Zionist regime brutally suppresses: that it is the Palestinian resistance that is the defender of peace, justice and security for all under the banner of Palestinian liberation, and the Zionist project that is an illegitimate colonial interloper.

This poster was created by artist Manu Scordia for the Week of Action to Free Ahmad Sa’adat and all Palestinian prisoners.
With the support of over 215 organizations from more than 30 countries, the Week of Action to Free Ahmad Sa’adat and All Palestinian Prisoners launched on Saturday, 14 January 2023.

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges all who stand with Palestine and justice for the Palestinian people to join us in the week.
