NABLUS, (PIC)
The imprisoned Qassam Brigades’ leader and writer Ammar Al-Zabin from Nablus embraced freedom on Thursday in the seventh batch of the “Flood of Freedom” deal, by the will and decision of the resistance.
After 27 years inside the Israeli prisons, Qassam leader Ammar Abdul Rahman Al-Zabin saw the resistance fulfill its promise to break the chains and shatter the walls of the jailer.
26 Life sentences
Al-Zabin was arrested on January 11, 1998, and was sentenced to 26 life sentences and 25 years for his responsibility in planning the resistance attacks in “Mahane Yehuda” and “Ben Yehuda,” carried out by the Qassam Brigades in occupied Jerusalem in 1997.
He was born in Nablus in 1975 and is married with four children: Bashayer Al-Nasr, Bisan, and the symbols of freedom, Muhannad and Salah Al-Din.
Ammar’s mother was martyred in 2004 after participating in a hunger strike in solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli jails.
The novelist
Ammar Al-Zabin is considered one of the most prominent writers in captivity, with numerous works and novels, the most important of which is “When the Orange Blossoms,” which won the Arab Culture Award, as well as the novels “Behind the Lines” and “The Group,” along with many short stories and literary and political articles.
The writer is distinguished by a unique style in presenting narratives and stories about the heroism of the Palestinian people. His motivation for writing is to immortalize the legacy of the heroism and dignity exhibited by the young fighters.
Al-Zabin has several other writings and novels while in captivity, such as the novel “The Road to Yaffa Street,” which discusses a period in the history of resistance in the occupied West Bank carried out by a Qassam cell.
It also recounts the story of the settler who insulted the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Al-Khalil and how the cell responded to the insult with two heroic operations in the “Mahana Yehuda” neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem.
