O fighters,
Tighten your iron grip on the rifles that create victory, the decision is yours and the future and victory are yours”

The image shows the back of a masked Palestinian wearing a keffiyeh (Arab headdress) and backpack and carrying an assault rifle. To the right of the armed Palestinian appears the Fatah logo that includes a grenade, crossed rifles, and the PA map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel as “Palestine” together with the PA areas.
