This is a thread specifically for the war, not a general megathread (use the pinned /c/genzedong thread for that).

Please keep related news in this thread rather than making separate posts. Remember to include sources and avoid spreading rumours.

🫡 rest in power, may your sacrifice be not in vain, fida'i

Is that Arabic? Regardless, it was a shame that someone like that died.

The word fidāʾiyy (Arabic: فدائي; plural: فدائيون fidāʾiyyūn (standard) or فدائيين fidāʾiyyīn (informal), often rendered in English as 'fedayeen') means 'sacrifice' or 'one who sacrifices himself' (a literal translation of fidāʾiyyīn might be "martyrs"). The Palestinian fedayeen are militants or guerrillas of a nationalist orientation from among the Palestinian people. Most Palestinians consider the fedayeen to be "freedom fighters".

It is tragic, LZ. If there were no Zionist Entity, there would be no need of people like him dying.
