October 7th was not the first time that resistance fighters utilized gliders to fly over our occupied lands.
Today, we remember the Night of the Gliders operation carried out by the Syrian Arab martyr Khaled Aker and the Tunisian Arab martyr Milood bin Al-Najjah on behalf of the PFLP-GC on November 25th 1987.
Our heroes flew into an IOF base in occupied Palestine on hang gliders all the way from Syrian-controlled South Lebanon armed with AK-47s, silenced pistols, and hand grenades. Aker was captured and martyred. Al-Najjah swept in, killing six IOF soldiers and injuring eight more as he fired his AK at the usurpers without mercy and hurled grenades into IOF tents.
These martyrs were hailed as heroes, and the slogan “six to one” or “6:1” became popular among Palestinians mocking settlers in Gaza. Just two weeks later, the first intifada was declared from Gaza, and this heroic operation undoubtedly sparked it.
Victory to our resistance!
Glory to our falcons!
Glory to our martyrs!
