The Arab Revolt of 1936-1939 in Palestine: A Study Based on Oral Sources (ص 133)

المحتوى

The following hierarchical sketch can be outlined based on
interviews with former rebels.** The Commanders of the rebel forces
consisted of four ranks: General Commanders, Regional Commanders,
Sub-regional Commanders and fasa’il Leaders. (see Appendix A, for the
names and ranks). The General Commander was responsible for the
whole area in which he operated, he maintained direct contacts with the
Central Committee in Damascus, he signed orders, and the communiques
of his area come out in his name. The most prominent General
Commanders during the revolt, were ’Abd al-Rahim Haj Mohammad,
’Arif "Abd al Raziq, Abu-Durra, Mohammad al-Salih, Sheikh ’Atiyah
Mohammad ’Awad, all operating in the Central area; ’Abd al-Qadir al-
Husseini, Hasan Salameh, operating in the Southern area; and Khahil
Mohammad Issa, operating in Galilee.
The rank directly under the General Commander, was the Regional
Commander, who was not necessarily responsible for a region, or even
for a few fasa’il, although many of them were. The Regional Commander
acted mostly as a General Commander deputy in the organisation of
military operations, or to set up rebel courts or, issue orders. Among the
most prominent Regional Commanders were Mohammad al-Saffuri and
Tawfiq al-Ibrahim (Abu-Ibrahim al-Saghir), in the Galilee area (the
latter acted as the deputy of Khail Mohammad Issa). In the Central area,
*Ali al-Faris, and Yusif al-Hamdan, were the best known regional
