Bureau’s Secretary. Thus from the 30th of October 1938, the
Communiques of the rebel commanders were signed by the Bureau of
the Arab revolt in Palestine. When the meeting had finished and the
rebel leaders were on their way to their areas, a clash took place in the
Deir Ghassaneh area between the British forces and Mohammad al-Salih
and his men in which he was killed.** Mohammad’s cousin ’Abd al-Fattah
al-Hasan took his place in the leadership of Nablus area, as well as in the
Bureau.”
Two leaders chose not to be in the Bureau, preferring to stay
independent and maintain direct contact with the Central Committee in
Damascus: ’Abd al-Qadir al-Husseini, the Commander of Jerusalem
area, and Khalil Mohammad Issa in the Galilee. Although the
Communiques were signed by the Bureau, the member leaders continued
to act independently in their regions, and also continued to maintain
separate contact with the Central Committee. In spite of their
independent behaviour, according to the interviews, these leaders did
sometimes coordinate their activities in order to conduct operations or to
solve problems between their fasa’il. For example when ’Abd al-Rahim
Haj Mohammad and ’Arif ’Abd al-Raziq worked together to lay siege to
*Arrabeh village to capture Fakhri "Abd al Hadi, who was collaborating
with the British. (See Chapter Eight).
"One day we went to Jisr al-Harithiya east of Haifa, near
Jewish settlements to attack, so we sent messages to al-
Damoun Fasil, and al-Berweh Fasil, and other fasa’il, that
we would attack at such a place at such a time. They would
then come and we did battle together. We used to
cooperate and exchange fighters for example to cut
telephone wires, or to blow up the railways"
