“For many years the Palestinian woman has experienced the expulsion and displacement that all of the Palestinian people has experienced from the British Mandate to the Israeli occupation. Every Palestinian woman chose a specific path of resistance through which she was the best support for the man and the breeder of future men. On this day which is dedicated to her (i.e., International Women’s Day), we will remember a number of the homeland’s women who have influenced all areas of the Palestinian sphere, and in particular in the area of activity for the struggle and national and social activity.
The fighter Shadia Abu Ghazaleh
The first military Martyr (Shahida) after the relapse (Naksa) of 1967 (i.e., the Six-Day War, which Arab nations initiated and later lost against Israel). She was born in 1949 in Nablus, and began her political activities at a young age. She joined the Arab Nationalist Movement in 1962. After the relapse, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine [PFLP] emerged from the Arab Nationalist Movement, and she became one of the members of its leadership. She participated in self-sacrifice operations against the occupation, but on Nov. 28, 1968, she prepared a bomb in her home that was meant to explode in an Israeli building in Tel Aviv, and the bomb exploded in her hands, leading to her death as a Martyr.
Self-sacrificing fighter (Fida'iya) Zakiya Shammout
One of the first self-sacrificing fighters to carry out operations (i.e., terror attacks) against the occupation. She was the first Palestinian woman to give birth to her daughter in an Israeli prison cell. She was born in Haifa in 1945, and joined self-sacrifice activities in 1968. She carried out seven self-sacrifice operations but was arrested together with her husband at the beginning of the 70s, while in her fifth month of pregnancy, and sentenced to 12 life sentences. On Feb. 18, 1972 Zakiya gave birth to her daughter Nadia in the Israeli Neve Tirza prison in Ramle, and in 1983 she was released and exiled to Algeria. She died in 2014.
Martyr Dalal Mughrabi
One of the most well-known Palestinian fighters. She was born in 1958 in one of the refugee camps in Beirut to a family from Jaffa that escaped to Lebanon after the 1948 war. She joined the ranks of the Palestinian revolution early, and took a number of military courses and lessons in guerilla fighting and the use of weapons. Mughrabi was influenced by the assassination of the three officers Kamal Adwan, Kamal Nasser, and Abu Yusuf Al-Najjar in 1973, which led her to participate in the Kamal Adwan operation (i.e., Coastal Road massacre, 37 murdered) planned by Khalil Al-Wazir (i.e., Abu Jihad). On March 11, 1978, Dalal and her group succeeded in reaching Tel Aviv and taking over an Israeli bus that was transporting soldiers (sic., the passengers were all civilians). A confrontation took place between the self-sacrificing fighters and the [Israeli] soldiers that led to dead and injured in the ranks of the Israeli army. After Ehud Barak (later to serve as a Prime Minister of Israel –Ed.) gave the order to stop the bus and kill the self-sacrificing fighters, Dalal blew up the bus with its passengers…
