Today, let's talk about our beloved Palestinian Prisoners. My heart is so sad because the occupation forces abducted our beloved freed prisoner Mohammad Al-Aridah, one of heroes of the Freedom Tunnel operation, who was released from the recent prisoner exchange deal. Let's talk about him and our beloved prisoners. Because the best home in Palestine is the home of our heroic and beloved prisoners. They sacrifice their lives for the liberation of Baitul Maqdis, the blessed, the beauty. We will recall the history about how the most impossible things become easily possible by the Leave of ALLAH Subhaanahu Wa Ta'ala and by the brave and resilience of our prisoners. The more-detailed documentation of their story is available on Resistance News Network (https://t.me/PalestineResist) and RNN Prisoners (https://t.me/RNN_Prisoners).

Freedom Tunnel Operation

When the possible defeated the impossible

Here, https://t.me/RNN_Prisoners/112, is the video compilation of the first moments of freedom for the six Palestinian prisoners who escaped from the maximum security "Gilboa" zionist prison two years ago on this day.

Ayham Kamamji, Zakaria Zubeidi, Mahmoud Al-Aridah, Mohammed Al-Aridah, Yaqoub Qadri, and Munadil Nfeiat.

The head is held high, and we don't care,
Even if we tire and are not satiated
The free dream of great heights,
Our dream has never been buried.

After digging for almost nine months, six heroic prisoners escaped from Gilboa prison on this day in 2021 ago in an unforgettable operation. We invite you to read how the liberated prisoners expressed their feelings during this historic moment:

Prisoner Mahmoud Al-Aridah, the mastermind behind the tunnel: "I give you the good news, O mother, for I have eaten figs from the length of the homeland, and cactus fruit and pomegranates. I have eaten the marouk and sumac and wild thyme. And after 25 years of deprivation, I have eaten guava."

Prisoner Zakaria Zubeidi: "Look and see how they planted pine trees in place of olive trees, but the roots are still there. They cut down the olive trees, but they forgot that olives has an extended lifespan. They can cut down the trees, but they cannot cut down the lifespan of the olive trees."

Prisoner Yaqoub Qadri: "The best days of my life were the five days I spent in the open air of Palestine without restrictions. I saw children in the streets and I kissed one of them, and it was one of the most beautiful things that happened to me."

Prisoner Ayham Kamamji: "When I reached Jenin, I felt as though I had reached heaven. I had hoped to visit my mother's grave, but I was not able to."

Two of the six heroes of the 2021 Freedom Tunnel operation are free at last, as promised by the resistance.

Zakaria Zubeidi and Mohammed Al-Aridah, two companions who were always together, from the prison cells to the tunnel operation until their capture, now rejoice in freedom.

Mohammed Al-Aridah describes the moment Zakaria Zubeidi found out about the martyrdom of his son, Mohammed Zubeidi. Mohammed did not know how to handle the situation, but Zakaria responded, saying, “If Mohammed isn’t like me, he would not have been my son,” honoring his son’s martyrdom.

Mohammed Al-Arideh is being celebrated by thousands upon his release. Foreshadowing the inevitable future, he says, “Zakaria Zubeidi is a great and courageous leader. Be assured that your nation will celebrate him with the same enthusiasm and joy.”

Zakaria foreshadows the inevitable and tells his jailer with confidence,
“One after another, we are leaving [prison].”

Upon Zakaria's release, an inevitability, he declares:
“The freedom of our Palestinian people has been long overdue… The complete destruction of Gaza, and now Jenin camp, it is enough. It is time for the Palestinian people to obtain their freedom.”

The true pain of our prisoners is the pain of losing other prisoner. How come? Find the answer directly from him, here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHTXa06HVywKcjELQgYK2MTKEST5ZojX1&si=fwnEbvLt1_ScjPgT

Sincere World, never forget or turn away from our Palestinian prisoners, because their lives in the occupation prisons, the cruelty they are facing beyond imagination, it's never crossed one's mind. World, liberation is never cheap. It's seized using the bloods and lives of our heroes.
