🇰🇼 The Kuwaiti Falcon Soaring Over Palestine.

"You will be proud of me. I will raise your heads and the heads of all Arabs." It was a promise and a farewell.

These words were said to his comrades by martyr Fawzi Abdulrasoul Al-Majadi, an Arab Kuwaiti resistance fighter who dedicated his life to the Palestinian cause in the midst of the first intifada. From Kuwait to Lebanon, Fawzi made his pilgrimage to join the revolution as part of the DFLP in support of the struggling Palestinian people and in holding true to his convictions as an Arab. He joined the revolution to "renew the unity of destiny to conquer the oppression of occupation on all struggling peoples."

Fawzi and his comrades set out to execute the Martyrs of Nablus Operation on the day he uttered these words, June 4th 1989. Their target was an IOF military site near "Meskav Am" in northern occupied Palestine. With two other Palestinian comrades, they killed an IOF soldier, captured two, and injured several others. The three heroes were martyred following bombardment by IOF helicopters after long clashes.

Their bodies were held in the cemetery of numbers for nearly 20 years. On July 16th 2008, a prisoner exchange led by Hezbollah saw the release of the bodies of 199 Arab resistance fighters, including Fawzi Al-Majadi. He was buried honorably in Kuwait following a warm welcome by supporting masses.

Today, the echoes of Fawzi's indomitable spirit resonate decades later, inspiring a new generation of Arab heroes. It was this same spirit, the immortal desire for justice and liberation, that guided another martyr on a journey of defiance and sacrifice: Egypt's Mohammed Salah. The Kuwaiti falcon and the Egyptian lion, both soaring high, their spirits united in the struggle for Palestine's liberation.

From the Ocean to the Gulf, Fawzi sacrificed for Palestine and its Arabism, so that it may be free from the River to the Sea. From the deserts of Kuwait, the falcon soared to Lebanon with his eyes set on Palestine, raising his weapon and wearing victory.
