On the morning of this day, April 8, 1948, Commander Abdel Qader Musa Kazem Al-Husseini , one of the symbols of the Palestinian national movement, which confronted the British army and Zionist gangs in the twentieth century, was martyred.

Seventy-five years ago, Al-Husseini was martyred in the village of Al-Qastal in Jerusalem, in a battle between the fighters of the Palestinian "Holy Jihad" organization and a reinforced Zionist force led by Yitzhak Rabin.

Al-Husseini was accustomed to enduring the calamities that befell Palestine from an early age, when he lost his mother a year and a half after his birth in 1910.

Al-Husseini began his life between science and jihad, especially since he studied the Holy Qur’an, and joined several universities, including the American University in Cairo. He studied in the Department of Chemistry, and in the College of Arts and Sciences at the American University of Beirut, until he joined a course for reserve officers at the Military College.

He held several jobs in his life, including a secretary in the Palestinian Arab Party in Jerusalem, a land settlement commissioner, and a mathematics teacher at the military school in Al-Rashid Camp.

Abdul Qadir Al-Husseini is considered the first to start the Great Palestinian Revolution in 1936, when he opened fire on a British military barracks in the village of Beit Surik in Jerusalem Governorate, which led to the movement of the cells of the Palestinian revolution everywhere, and the resistance men joined them at that time from all sides. .
