Commemoration of Lion’s Den Martyrs

In honor of principled refusal, steadfastness, and those who are imprisoned and martyred on the path of liberation.

Today, we commemorate the first year since the martyrdom of three of the lion guards of Nablus.

The martyred leader Mohammed Al-Dakhil.
The martyred leader Adham Mabrouka.
The martyred leader Ashraf Mubaslat.

Our brave heroes were martyred by the bullets of the cowardly occupation forces in coordination with the traitorous comprador, the so-called Palestinian Authority, who handed intel on their location after an earlier failed assassination attempt of the martyr Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi that same day in the early hours of February 8th, 2022. Over 90 bullets were fired at their car that day, in an unforgettable scene of zionist brutality and cowardice.

It was later revealed that they were founding members of the Lions’ Den and were instrumental during its infancy. Sons of the Old City of Nablus, they grew up in the footsteps of the martyrs, carrying out operation after operation and defending every invasion of the camp. They were a nightmare for the enemy.

Their martyrdom set fire to the land underneath the feet of the zionist occupiers across all of Palestine. A nation and a people rose in honor of its martyrs; thousands committed their lives to our righteous cause by picking up the rifle and pointing it towards the enemy, and did so following in the footsteps of those before them, to victory or martyrdom.

In the words of the martyr Basil Al-Araj, “Either we resist or we wait for annihilation.”

A martyr rises, and, in their honor, a thousand others stand ready to continue marching on the path they paved.

We witness their spirits alive today, beating in hearts of the victorious resistance of Nablus, with martyr Al-Mansour Al-Jabbar carrying out an operation at one of the city’s colonial checkpoints. They sat, as they did together with Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi, prepared to defend their land by any means necessary, guardians in their lifetimes and in martyrdom.

Glory to the eternal martyrs.
