“Martyr Ahmad Musa Ibrahim Al-Dalki
Al-Dalki is the first Martyr of the Fatah Movement and one of those who carried out the operation destroying the Eilabun tunnel on Jan. 1, 1965
This was the operation following which the Fatah Movement declared the outbreak of the modern Palestinian revolution. The Martyr’s role in the operation was to place the explosives, together with three other comrades. After the successful execution of the operation, three of the self-sacrificing fighters (Fedayeen) succeeded in reaching their bases safely, other than Ahmad, of whom it became known afterwards that he died as a Martyr.
