The video shows footage of Hamas terrorists invading Israel to commit their massacre on Oct. 7, 2023, at the launch of Hamas’ terror war on Israel – see note below. Terrorists are seen breaking through the Israeli security barrier on the Gaza border and destroying an Israeli tank. In the upper right corner is the logo of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which features the PA map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel together with the PA areas as “Palestine.” An armed PFLP terrorist is seen speaking.
PFLP terrorist: “From the eastern Gaza Strip, we say to the Zionist enemy that the liberation is already near!” …
PFLP Deputy Secretary-General Jamil Mazhar: “We say to this criminal [Israeli] enemy – regardless of how many bloody massacres you commit, our people will not leave, but rather it will continue to stand firm on its land,– regardless of how heavy the sacrifices may be. We call the masses of our people in the West Bank (a sign is shown with the text: “America is the root of terror” -Ed.), in Jerusalem, and in the 1948 territories (i.e., Israel) to a comprehensive intifada against the occupation. We call on the Arab masses to gather in the squares and besiege the American and Zionist embassies in their lands.”

Hamas war on Israel October 2023 - At least 1,200 Israelis, including over 1,000 civilians, were murdered and over 4,800 wounded, in addition to approximately 244 who were abducted into the Gaza Strip (including 110 later released or liberated and at least 26 later killed), in a Hamas terror war that began when approximately 3,000 Hamas terrorists broke through Israel's security fence at the Gaza Strip border and launched a surprise attack, taking control of several Israeli towns and attacking a music festival on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, which fell on the Sabbath, Oct. 7, 2023. During the massacre the terrorists tortured, raped, shot, beheaded, and burned their victims alive, murdering entire families and leaving at least 21 children without parents. Hamas terrorists also fired at least 5,000 rockets at Israeli population centers. In response, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords to counter the Hamas terror threat. Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon joined Hamas' terror war starting from the following day, attacking Israel from the north. Occasional rocket launches and shootings continued from Lebanon throughout the war. A ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal began on Nov. 24, 2023, in which Israel agreed to release 150 terrorist prisoners, pause drone surveillance in the Gaza Strip, and allow movement between the northern and southern Gaza Strip, in return for 50 Israeli female and child hostages held by Hamas. The deal was subsequently extended with additional releases, until Hamas violated the agreement and resumed attacking on Dec. 1, 2023.

One of its most high profile attacks was the murder of Israeli Minister of Tourism Rehavam Ze'evi on Oct. 17, 2001. PFLP has been designated as a terror organization by several states including the US, Japan, Canada, Australia, and the EU.Terrorist prisoner Ahmad Sa’adat has served as PFLP’s secretary-general since 2001; he is serving a 30-year sentence in an Israeli prison for heading the PFLP.
