A Chadian chemist and a British activist, both born in Jerusalem, vow to fight for Palestine by any means necessary even if it costs them death. Two men devoted their lives to the Palestinian resistance but paid the ultimate price. Bashir Jibril, born in Jerusalem to a Chadian family, joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) after the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. He trained military cadres and took part in the 1970 airliner hijackings, before being killed in a car bomb explosion in Athens in 1978.

"I swear to God that I have faced death like 100 times, so for me, it's better to die here," said Ahmed Hirz, who has been displaced along with his family at least eight times since Israel's war began. "I will never leave here," he told Al Jazeera. "We have gone through suffering and starvation and torture and miserable conditions, and our final decision is to die here."

More than 50 Palestinians have been arrested in Israeli military raids across the occupied West Bank. Raids took place in multiple locations including Nablus, Qalqilya, Tubas, and others.
