In the shadows of the Battle of "The Sword of Al-Quds", which has unified all Palestinians of various segments everywhere and rearranged their options, so it rose as one man, confronting the occupier with various forms of resistance, to portray a wonderful integrative image, which surprised the occupier and placed it before many great challenges.

Those challenges included unveiling the Israeli occupation racist reality and exposing the falsity of its claims to represent the values ​​of civil and urbanization, and proving that it is behaving as a rogue entity that does not respect international law or legitimacy agreed upon by all of humanity.

In the shadows of this battle, which will inevitably have its consequences, the Al-Qassam Brigades announces the launch of the 2021 Vanguards of Liberation camps, as a continuation of the process of preparation, mobilization of energies, raising determination, and consolidating the meanings of love for homelands and willingness to sacrifice for them in the hearts of young people and youth.

These training camps will be named after the "Sword of Al-Quds" battle to be added to the record of achievements scored by the Palestinian people during this battle.

The Al-Qassam Brigades has organized the Vanguard of Liberation camps for over ten years, as it believes that the youth have a significant role and that it has a responsibility towards the generation that all sides are trying to tempt and divert their attention from their cause and priorities.

However, the youth prove every time that they have a high level of awareness, patriotism, and willingness to make sacrifices whenever needed. They have always been the fuel of uprisings and protests, such as the Al-Quds intifada (uprising), the Great Return March, and the latest demonstrations at Al-Aqsa Mosque, to name but a few.  

Since launching these camps, the Al-Qassam Brigades has sought to achieve several goals, foremost among them teaching the youth the principles of our religion, reinforce their national values, and boost their trust in Allah, they are belonging to the holy land, and their readiness for liberation and return.

This program is also intended to protect the young generation from falling into traps laid by the Israeli occupation and help them acquire several skills that will make them competent and conscious through a variety of programs.

What we are doing in these camps is, like all the peoples who are, and were, under occupation and persecution, where international law guarantees them the right to self-determination, self-defense, and resisting the occupier by all means available, including armed resistance (UNGA Resolution A/RES/45/130).

This year saw an intensive turnout for registering in the Vanguards of Liberation camps compared with previous years. This indicates the growing popular support for the Palestinian resistance and taking it as a role model

We have witnessed dozens of honorable models; from the sons of the martyrs who were killed during the battle of the Sword of Jerusalem, to the elderly who came to register for the camps, and the parents who came by themselves to register their children, and those who came wishing to register their children, despite not reaching the age approved by the resistance.

This increases the burden of responsibility placed on us by the Palestinian people.

The technical, material and logistic resources dedicated by the Al-Qassam Brigades for these camps confirm our unshakeable belief that the Palestinian people are the asset of the homeland and cause, and thus it is a focus of attention that the Palestinian resistance cannot ignore.  

Despite being preoccupied with enhancing their capabilities, the Palestinian resistance movements, particularly the Al-Qassam Brigades, implements a developing program to shape the young generation and strengthen the Palestinian home front on top of its list of priorities. This will be done by accommodating the overwhelming popular demand for belonging to the resistance as a thought and practice, to contribute directly to refining the character of the Palestinian youth who are living in the liberation stage, and will have a great contribution to the battle to liberate land, people and sanctities, and prepare for a bright future shaded by the values of freedom and dignity, in which our youth contribute to making peace, the good and well-being of all mankind.

Realizing the latent positive energies of our people, and directing their compass towards the battle of liberation for Jerusalem and Palestine, oversee our priorities.

We, in the Al-Qassam Brigades leadership, assure the whole world that we are fighters for freedom and dignity. Our highest wishes are to see our dear free homeland free of occupation and oppression and see our people contributing to goodness and peace for all human beings. Our Palestinian youth have the right to enjoy a free and dignified life filled with creativity, achievement, and fulfilling dreams.
