He said that they taught a clear lesson regarding all that is related to the unity of the land and the homeland, and noted that the Palestinian people still make sure to mark the anniversary of the three Martyrs, who sacrificed themselves for the homeland and in order to defend their homeland Palestine.”

They were convicted of attacking British soldiers and murdering Jews in the 1929 Hebron Massacre, in which 65 Jews were murdered. They were executed by the British in 1930.
