from a Gaza prison on May 19th. After
one of them was recaptured by the
Israeli army, the other five militants
succeeded in making the Israeli secret
service believe that they were in
Tunisia, by having their arrival broad-
cast from there.
One-third of the military operations
in October were carried out using
molotov cocktails. This attests to the
increasing mass-based character of the
Palestinian resistance against the oc-
cupation. It indicates that a com-
prehensive popular war has become a
possibility if the necessary material and
moral support is provided to the people
living under occupation. @
PFLP - General Command Operation
On the afternoon of November 25th,
four pilots of the PFLP—General
Command took off in hang gliders,
headed for occupied Palestine. One of
them, Khaled Ahmed Aker, succeeded
in literally overflying the Zionists’
security wall, and landed close to an
Israeli army base in the northern
Galilee, near Kiryat Shimona settle-
ment. Another pilot, Milod Ben Al
Najeh Noumah, was killed by the
Israeli occupation forces, while the two
others later returned to their base.
Khaled, who landed near the Israeli
base, caught the enemy forces totally
off guard. He engaged the Zionist
soldiers in an extended battle before
being martyred. According to the
Zionists’ admissions, he killed six
Israeli soldiers and seriously wounded
seven others. The real casualty toll
could be much higher.
In any case, this can only be termed
the most successful Palestinian com-
mando operation across the borders in
a decade, in terms of the ingenuity and
skill involved, and the number of
casualties inflicted in the Zionist
military ranks. Israeli Chief-of-Staff
Shomron blamed laxity in the military
for being caught off guard. Prime
Minister Shamir convened the cabinet
and blamed Syria for allowing such an
attack to be launched. The Zionist
leadership is clearly loath to admit that
despite all their expenditures on high-
tech security, the Palestinian revolution
retains the innovative ability and
courage needed to continue the struggle
to regain their homeland.
An incident about one week after the
operation confirmed the extent of the
panic it had created among the
Zionists. An Israeli soldier near
Metulla settlement, in the Upper
Galilee, sighted a strange flying object.
Thinking it was another hang glider, he
immediately notified the military
leadership of the area, who declared a
state of high alert. Settlers in the area
rushed to shelters, while the Israeli
army conducted a search, with
helicopters firing flares and straffing
with heavy machine guns, along the
border with Lebanon. Millions of
bullets were expended, but it later
became clear that the flying object was
a large kite which had probably been
released by a playing child. e@
