Mass Rally
Commemorating the Naharia
Operation
The Requirements of
National Unity
On August 21st, the 40th day after the Naharia operation carried out by four militants from the PFLP
and the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), the PFLP organized a mass rally in Yarmouk camp,
Damascus. The rally was attended by leaders and cadres of the Palestinian resistance and the Arab
national liberation movement, and families of those martyred in the operation. The main speakers were:
Comrade Abu Ali Mustafa, Deputy General Secretary of the PFLP; Comarde Isam Mahayree, President
of the SSNP; Comrade Mohammed Nour AI] Deen of POLISARIO; and the father of one of the martyrs,
Khalil Atif Khattab. Below we print the speech of Comrade Abu Ali Mustafa.
SPEECH BY COMRADE ABU ALI
MUSTAFA
We are not gathered here today to cry, but to commemorate
our honorable militants and to pledge to continue the struggle.
This is our people, our Arab nation, sacrificing one martyr
after the other with pride. We will not hesitate, despite all the
conspiracies and the cries to surrender. We will be steadfast
until achieving victory.
Words cannot describe the meaning of martyrdom, espe-
cially when it comes as the result of a conscious decision. On
behalf of the PFLP’s Central Committee and Politbureau, we
salute the heros of the Naharia operation. We salute their rela-
tives for their high morale upon learning of their sons’
martyrdom; they were proud despite their pain.
Our martyrs have joined many others on the path to the
same goal. Martyr Mohammed Mahmoud Kana’a from
Aleppo, Syria, joined Ghassan Kanafani of Acca, Palestine.
Martyr Abdul Ilah Shahab joined Guevara of Gaza. Martyr
Abdul Hadi Kathem joined Faheem Abu Ghazalah, the hero of
all battles. Martyr Kahlil Atif Khattab from Ain Al Zaytoun,
joined Abu Mansour, the hero of the Hebron (Al Khalil)
mountains. Martyrdom continues for the same goal, despite
time, space and generations.

Today we also commemorate our Moroccan martyr, who
embodied the true people of Morocco, not like Hassan II, the
traitor. Martyr Muhajjar Al Arabi Ibin Qadour joined his
comrades, the four heros of the Naharia operation, four days
later, when Israeli planes raided a PFLP position (in Lebanon).
He challenged the Zionist bombers with his will, while Hassan
II falls before the shoes of Peres. He symbolizes the struggle,
while Hassan represents capitulation.
The Naharia operation was not the first and won’t be the
last. It has great significance at this decisive stage of the
struggle between the revolution and the capitulationist trend.
Firstly, it showed the militant spirit confronting the capitula-
tionist trend. Secondly, it negated the Zionist enemy’s claims
of having destroyed the base of the Palestinian revolution,
which was one of their goals in the 1982 invasion of Lebanon.
Thirdly, it confirmed Palestinian-Lebanese unity and conti-
nuity in the struggle, at a time when some suspicious voices are
calling for separating the Lebanese national struggle from the
Palestinian struggle, under the pretext of guaranteeing security
in the South. Fourth, the Naharia operation foiled the enemy
plans for protecting the Zionist enemy from the operations of
the Lebanese and Palestinian national resistance, by installing
a security belt in the South. Above all, it indicates the escala-
tion of armed struggle as the only way to achieve victory and
the goals of our people. - هو جزء من
