Atwan: The news of the re-arrest of the heroic prisoners is not sad / They defeated the Israeli regime in mental battle.
Abdul Bari Atwan, a prominent Arab analyst and editor-in-chief of the Rai Al-Youm newspaper, wrote in a new article in response to the re-arrest of four Palestinian prisoners who escaped from the Israeli prison last week. I follow in the great escape operation, which will be recorded in history because of the precision, courage and bravery used in it, as they were released from the Israeli prison. The operation was a major victory for the Palestinian prisoners in the battle of the brains against the occupying Zionist regime, which claimed to be the most specialized and experienced security institution in the world.
Occupied Palestine is a small country with an area of less than 27,009 square kilometers and a land full of population without forests or rugged mountains. The country is occupied by a racist enemy with a long history of killing, torture and repression, yet Palestine has a large number of militant men and women.
For these reasons, it is difficult for six Palestinian heroes to hide for a long time in this land full of spies and mercenaries. Of course, these mercenaries are not the security forces of the occupying regime, but the coordinating elements (Palestinian Authority) whose “holy” goal is to support the occupying regime and the Zionist settlers and to protect their security and welfare.
The forces of the occupying Zionist regime established 261 checkpoints and declared a state of emergency among their forces, and all their spies were employed in order to be able to defeat the great defeat and the painful psychological blow inflicted on the reputation of this regime as soon as possible and with minimal damage. Compensate and these six heroes will not be able to cross the borders and go to a safe place in the neighboring countries.

Of course, we admit that their re-arrest after five days of release following their miraculous and unprecedented escape was a painful shock for all of us who stand in the stronghold of resistance against the criminal Zionist regime.
But this escape operation was an honorable battle in a long war, and it will be followed by other heroic battles and operations, and perhaps bigger, which will be more painful for the enemy, who is supported by the whole world; The enemy, whose collapse began after defeats at the hands of men who will not retreat from their ultimate goal of liberating their land and their sanctuaries.
These 6 Palestinian heroes succeeded in achieving a great victory against the most advanced security service in the world, which is equipped with the latest spying and eavesdropping devices in prisons. They were able to defeat this arrogant enemy and deal a fatal blow to it, and that is enough for the great nation that raised these heroes.
The fact is that the mission of these prisoners was completed in full and other issues go into detail. These heroes are students of martyrdom and men of resistance, and their return to prison and their cells is a great honor for us and a good role model for their comrades and generations of resistance, both inside and outside prisons. They were able to return their national ideals, principles and stability to the forefront of regional and international attention in the days of compromise and normalization of some with the Zionist enemy.
It is not sad to talk about the re-arrest of these heroes by the occupying regime and its services; Rather, it is a matter of pride and we should celebrate the great victory that these heroes have given to their nation and future generations.
