The following four statements by the PFLP and their armed wing, the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, were made in the context of the battle on the night of October 27th, 2023. Throughout the night, Gaza’s telecommunications were completely disabled by Israeli strikes, and public services and updates were rendered silent among heavy attacks. These English versions are being preserved on the Red Clarion; their original translation first appeared on Resistance News Network’s Telegram (PalestineResist).

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
—
Gaza defends and fights with its flesh and blood, and the flag will not fall.
The enemy’s decision to cut off all communications and internet services to the Gaza Strip, following its threats of committing more genocidal crimes and escalating brutal bombing, is an attempt by the enemy to silence the voice of Gaza, to hide images of its crimes and defeats, and to use shock to spread fear among the steadfast residents of Gaza.
What the Popular Front fears and warns against are the ongoing brutal crimes by the enemy’s army and air force against defenseless women, elderly, and children, especially given the enemy’s escalation of its aerial, naval, and ground bombardment.
Any enemy ground incursion attempts, no matter their form or size, will only be met with increased resistance, and the enemy will face surprises prepared by our people’s resistance that they are unaware of. Our people should be confident of the readiness and capability of the resistance.
The Front warns against exploiting the communication blackout in Gaza to spread rumors and circulate the enemy’s lies, urging our people and Palestinian journalists to make their best efforts to convey the truth to the masses using any available means.
The Front calls on Palestinian companies and entities to urgently find solutions that enable the residents of Gaza to access communications, warning against any negligence in this regard, especially since these communications are essential for residents to access emergency and ambulance services.
The Front also calls for an escalation of Arab popular and official efforts to stop the aggression, emphasizing the necessity of working on bringing aid, volunteers, and international delegations to the Strip to relieve its people and wounded, and to reveal the scale of the zionist crimes committed in the Strip.

Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades spokesman Abu Jamal:
—
The invading force is suffering heavy losses among its soldiers. This explains their state of hysteria by aiming to take human lives, using insane bombing and excessive firepower to reduce their army’s losses.
The resistance has confidence and experience in fighting asymmetric wars. They fight with intelligence, high morale, and combat equipment. They are the sons of this land and are not strangers to it, and it will not let them down. They know the field in their country well.
Attempts to advance by ground were made from several axes, and incendiary bombs and explosive devices were waiting for them to burn their armored vehicles. The legendary engagement with the invading forces took place in high morale and with an amazing level of precision and professionalism.
According to admissions from Hebrew websites, the battle was fierce and the tanks burned like toy dolls. The defeat of the enemy was at the beginning of the battle, and will inevitably be at its end. Victory is coming and will put the entire region at a new turning point.
The heroic resistance of Gaza, with its people, its steadfastness, and its resistance, writes a glorious history for all of Palestine, the nation, and the peoples of the region, and teaches the world an unforgettable lesson in freedom, pride, and national dignity.
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
—
The duty of the nation and supporters of Palestine is to escalate the struggle against the forces of aggression.
The primary duty of all forces supporting the right of the Palestinian people and opposing the genocidal war against them is to intensify their struggle against the countries involved in the aggression and war against our people. This comes in light of escalating genocidal crimes and the cutting off of all communications with Gaza in an attempt to hide the massive and egregious crimes committed by the enemy against unarmed women, children, and the elderly.
It is inconceivable, after the fall of about 8,000 martyrs, tens of thousands injured, and the displacement of one and a half million Palestinians in Gaza, along with daily genocidal crimes, that the international and Arab response would be at this level. The UN General Assembly’s statements have been weak, the European Union’s stance is hostile and supports the continuation of genocide, and the positions of the United States and Britain are fully involved in the criminal war against our people.
This aggressive alliance will not be dismantled by timid positions or half-hearted stances, but requires an escalation of serious revolutionary action against all these forces, primarily the United States and the other forces of the aggression alliance. Their embassies and bases remain active and present in Arab countries and around the world, untouched by even the minimum amount of protest.
The Front expresses its deep appreciation for every act of solidarity. Still, the scale of zionist crimes against our people requires much more. The magnitude of the massacre and genocidal war should shake the world and mobilize all Arab, friendly forces, and supporters of freedom worldwide.
The Front calls for escalating the struggle and focusing on the embassies of the countries of the aggression alliance and its supporters, considering America as the spearhead of this aggression. They should realize the consequences of their actions and their clear complicity in the killing our children and in the massacres and genocidal war against our people.
Providing justifications and excuses to lower the level of revolutionary and solidarity action to symbolic and formal levels is a stab in the back of Palestine and its people, and will comfort the aggression alliance to give it space to continue crimes against our people. The Front reaffirms its previous call for a mass flood towards the embassies, interests, and bases of the aggression forces and a greater role for solidarity parties and forces in escalating the struggle against the alliance of enemies worldwide.

Statement issued by the Office of Martyrs, Prisoners, and Wounded for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
—
Our prisoners are in the crosshairs.
O masses of our Palestinian people,
Since the 7th of October 2023, during the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, the zionist occupation has proceeded to transfer prisoners and detainees to an unknown location, notably including the Secretary-General of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Comrade Leader Ahmad Saadat and his comrades, as well as the prisoner leader and intellectual Walid Daqqah, who is suffering from a severe health condition. Moreover, the occupation forces are carrying out an arbitrary arrest campaign targeting released prisoners and resistance fighters from among our people in the West Bank.
In this context, the Office of Martyrs, Prisoners, and Wounded for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine issues a call through the media, all social media platforms, international human rights and humanitarian institutions to break this silence which makes them a fundamental partner in all these crimes. It is inconceivable that the lives of prisoners remain constantly threatened by these fascist and Nazi gangs. We fear that our prisoners may become martyrs due to the torture and deprivation inflicted by the zionist prison services, depriving the prisoners of their most basic rights guaranteed by all international and humanitarian laws and conventions.
We call upon the International Committee of the Red Cross and the World Health Organization to fulfill their humanitarian duties, exert efforts to visit the prisoners, learn about their conditions, and provide all necessary medicine and treatment.
We, in the Office of Martyrs, Prisoners, and Wounded for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, closely follow the conditions of the prisoners and exert great effort to determine their fate, including children, women, elderly, and the sick suffering from heart diseases, diabetes, blood pressure, and kidney issues.
We demand the formation of a swift investigative committee to investigate all the details that led to the martyrdom of a number of prisoners due to torture, beating, and deliberate medical negligence.
We also call upon our Palestinian people to engage in the widest campaign of mobilization and solidarity with the prisoners and detainees in the zionist prisons.
Furthermore, the Office of Martyrs, Prisoners, and Wounded for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine condemns the barbaric and brutal zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip, targeting hospitals, innocent citizens, medical and media crews, and committing massacres against our Palestinian people.
Glory and eternity to the martyrs,
Freedom for the prisoners,
Healing for the wounded,
And victory for our people.
Office of Martyrs, Prisoners, and Wounded for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
