Text on image: “They were three men who competed among themselves who would die first

The anniversary of the deaths as Martyrs of three of the heroes of the Palestinian revolution

They were executed by the British occupation forces at Acre Prison

Martyr Muhammad Jamjoum

Martyr Fuad Hijazi

Martyr Ataa Al-Zir.”

(i.e., three murderers; see note below)

Muhammad Jamjoum, Fuad Hijazi, and Ataa Al-Zir “committed particularly brutal murders [of Jews] at Safed and Hebron,” according to the report by British Government to the League of Nations. 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.
