In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

On the anniversary of the Nakba and for the sake of detained heroes
The blood of the martyr Samer Ortani fuels Palestinian anger

Palestinian anger against the Zionist enemy and its soldiers and settler herds is escalating in each and every city, village and refugee camp in our occupied Palestinian lands. The popular confrontations are persisting in solidarity with our heroic detainees who waged an open hunger strike. They decided to launch the battle of empty stomachs to force the Zionist enemy to release them.

A hero, a martyr from the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, sacrifices his soul for the cause of Allah and as a price of dignity and freedom; and for the sake of steadfast detainees in Zionist dungeons:

Martyr Samer Ahmed Abdul Karim Ortani

One of Hamas’ cadres who fell at the hands of the Zionist enemy troops in steadfast Qalqilya. His cherished blood irrigated the soil of the sacred land of Palestine to fuel the Palestinian anger in face of the usurping occupiers.

Our Mujahid people

Let the popular confrontations in our entire occupied lands rise on the anniversary of the Nakba (disaster) and in solidarity with the heroic detainees. Let us face the occupiers with our bare chests and with stones of our blessed lands. Let the lands turn into fire under the Zionists’ feet.

Our Palestinian people … our Arab and Muslim Ummah

On the anniversary of the Nakba … the anniversary of the declaration of the occupying Zionist entity on our usurped lands, we affirm to our people anew that Palestine, all of Palestine from the (Mediterranean) sea to the river (Jordan) is the sole property of the Palestinian people, the Arab Nation and the Muslim Ummah. It is an Islamic Waqf land that no human being can give it up, negotiate or sell in return for a humiliating illusionary peace or as a price for a country with deformed will and sovereignty. On the anniversary of the Nakba, our people affirm their attachment to Al-Quds (Jerusalem) all of Al-Quds … the eternal capital of the free and dignified Palestine. Our people also affirm the right of their refugees in the diaspora to return to their lands. On the anniversary of the Nakba, our people affirm that they are a people of Jihad and martyrdom, a people of continuous struggle, a people of the great Intifadha and a people of sacrifices.

Our Palestinian people … our Arab and Muslim Ummah

On the anniversary of the Nakba, and in the wake of the escalating popular confrontations in solidarity with the heroic detainees, the Hamas Movement vows to you that it will remain loyal to its people, Ummah, blood of martyrs and to the towering detainees in prison cells. Hamas affirms that it will continue along the road of resistance and Jihad as the sole road for grabbing our rights, protecting our sanctities, liberating our prisoners and defeating the aggressors.

Allahu Akbar and victory for our Mujahid people

The Islamic Resistance Movement
