"We call on Hamas to stop toying with the fate of the Palestinian people according to its foreign agendas, and to cooperate with the efforts made by President Mahmoud Abbas to stop the Palestinian bloodshed."

If you're reading this, it means I was killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When all this began, I was just 21 years old—a college student with dreams like everyone else.

For the past eighteen months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on sidewalks, in schools, in tents—wherever I could. Every day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people.

By God, I did my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, finally, I have rested—something I haven't known for the past eighteen months. I did all this out of faith in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it was the greatest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.

I ask you now: Don't stop talking about Gaza. Don't let the world turn its back on it. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.

For the last time, Hossam Shabat from northern Gaza.

To our people, our compatriots, and our brothers in beloved Syria, you who have written in the pages of history the names of revolutionaries who sacrificed their lives for the sake of God and for the great cause of the nation, which is Jerusalem and the environs of Jerusalem.
This land has always been a dream for your heroes to liberate and pray at the first of the two Qiblahs, the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Day 5 has passed and you have two of our best cadres.

Brother Leader Engineer Khaled Khaled, responsible for the Syrian arena.
And brother leader, engineer, head of the organizing committee, Yasser Al-Zafari.

Without any explanation for the reasons for the arrest, and in a manner we would not have hoped to see from our brothers, whose land has always been a haven for loyal and free people, who throughout history have never left a single occupier or tyrant without destroying them, out of their zeal for their religion and honor.

We in the Al-Quds Brigades hope that our brothers in the Syrian government will release our brothers held by them. We are hopeful that you are worthy of the Arab chivalry with which guests are honored and the people of truth are supported. We are confident that our brothers held by you are among those who have had a significant impact in working for the just cause of Palestine and in providing relief to their families through humanitarian work during the lean years that Syria has experienced.

At this time when we have been fighting the Zionist enemy continuously for more than a year and a half in the Gaza Strip without surrender, we hope to receive support and appreciation from our Arab brothers, not the opposite.

We in the Al-Quds Brigades affirm that our rifles, since its inception, have been directed only at the enemy's chests, and have never deviated from the primary goal, which is the entirety of Palestinian territory. When the Al-Quds Brigades offered martyrs from the Syrian arena, they offered them on the borders of occupied Palestine.
