Beacon of Heroes

-4-

In the days following the martyrdom of Yahya Sinwar, I felt as if the city itself was crying. Black flags were waving everywhere, and sorrow wrapped the streets like a dense cloud. Yet amidst this sadness, there was a strong will pushing us to continue the march. I felt that his loss was a call for us to also become heroes, to carry the banner of resistance with pride.

We gathered in the early hours of the morning at the center, and the atmosphere was charged with tension and determination. The new leader, appointed as Sinwar's successor, was a strong man with a commanding presence. He began his speech with inspiring words: "We must be loyal to the blood of our martyrs. Abu Ibrahim Yahya Sinwar was not just killed; he was revived in our hearts and in our struggle. It is our duty now to preserve his legacy and continue our journey toward freedom!"

We trained with even greater passion, as if each of us was carrying a new responsibility on our shoulders. Our voices were clearer than before, and we were determined to confront the occupation with all our might.

In one of the training sessions, we were given new instructions on how to use the tunnels more effectively and how to navigate them without leaving any trace.

After the training, we decided to organize a memorial march in honor of the late leader.

We gathered in a small square in the heart of the city, where the flags were raised, and the square was crowded with young men and women. The atmosphere was vibrant, and despite the sadness, there was a feeling of unity and solidarity. We raised banners that read: "Yahya Sinwar, a symbol of resilience!" and began to chant slogans expressing our loyalty and appreciation for his inspiring character.

During that time, I felt more connected to my new friends, as if we had become one family. We exchanged stories about the martyrs we had lost and spoke of our dreams for a better future. Each of us shared a moment or event that had impacted us, revealing a deeper side of our personalities.

Then came the day we had been waiting for, the day of a new resistance operation. We had a clear plan, and morale was high. We were ready to head to the sites under occupation, to liberate our lands, and to achieve what we had failed to accomplish in the past.

We moved toward the tunnels, and the new leader guided us with determination and resolve. As we approached the target site, my heart raced faster, but I felt an incredible strength pushing me forward. I thought of Sinwar, of his courage, and the lessons he left us—how he faced death bravely until the last moment.

When we arrived at the site, the atmosphere was charged with tension and anticipation. Voices rose, and I heard one of the fighters shout, "We will not allow this occupation to infringe upon our land. We are here to continue their journey, to continue the path of the martyrs!"

As we moved, I felt that we were not alone. There was a real presence of the martyrs, as if they were walking with us, supporting us, and giving us strength. Every bomb, every bullet fired, and every shout was a promise to them that we would remain steadfast, and that we would never retreat.

We advanced toward our goal, ready for anything. We knew danger surrounded us, but we were determined to write a new chapter in the history of our struggle. For leader Yahya had left us a legacy of courage and determination, and we were ready to take on the responsibility and face the challenges for our freedom.

With every step, I felt his spirit encouraging me, and I repeated to myself: "Because we will continue the march, we will be the heroes of this land, and we will make your memory an inspiration for all who come after us!"
