‘The revolutionaries do not leave a land, history immortalizes them’
Today, Sunday [June 25, 2023], is the 49th anniversary of the heroic Nahariya operation that was carried out by a select unit of Fatah heroes on June 24-25, 1974…
The self-sacrificing squad that included the three heroes Ahmad Abd Al-'Al, Abd Al-Rahim Nasif, and Muhammad Hanafi, infiltrated the settlement of Nahariya (i.e., a coastal town in northern Israel) on the night of June 25 with inflatable boats by sea from Lebanon. One of the settlers succeeded in exposing them and shot at them. The occupation forces called up the Golani unit and confrontations began between the occupation forces and the three heroes for seven hours, until their ammunition ran out and they died as Martyrs.
Dozens of the occupation’s soldiers were killed in the operation, but the true number of its killed soldiers was not revealed. (sic.)”
FACT: The terrorists murdered 30-year-old Irena Zarankin, her 10-year-old daughter Ronit, and her 5-year-old son Gilad, as well as 1 Israeli soldier
1974 Nahariya attack – Three Palestinian terrorists - Abd Al-Rahim Nasif, Ahmad Abd Al-'Al, and Muhammad Hanafi - who had reached Israel by boat from Lebanon broke into an apartment building in Nahariya, where they murdered 30-year-old Irena Zarankin, her 10-year-old daughter Ronit, and her 5-year-old son Gilad on June 25, 1974. Zarankin’s husband Mordechai had made a rope out of sheets for them to escape out the window and blockaded the door, but one of the terrorists was waiting below and shot Irena Zarankin and the children as they climbed down. Mordechai Zarankin survived the attack. Israeli soldiers who arrived at the scene killed all three terrorists, but in the exchange of fire 21-year-old Israeli soldier Danny Senesh was also murdered. Fatah claimed responsibility for the attack.
