غَزَّةَ، وَجَاءَتْ ثُلَّةٌ مِنَ الجُنودِ البِريطانيينَ وَانْتَزَعَتِ اللَّوْحَةَ المُعَلَّقَةَ فِي صَدْرِ الشَّارِعِ.

In Gaza, a group of British soldiers arrived and tore down the sign hanging at the head of the street.

وَأَخْرَجَ تِلْميذٌ لَمْ يَتَجاوَزِ العاشِرَةَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ طَبْشورَةً مِنْ جَيْبِهِ، وَكَتَبَ اسْمَ عُمَرَ المُخْتارِ عَلى حائِطِ الشَّارِعِ، وَتَبِعَهُ بَعْضُ التَّلامِذَةِ، وَهاجَتِ الجَماهيرُ المُحْتَشِدَةُ فِي الشَّارِعِ، وَانْدَفَعَ مِنْها مَنِ انْحَنى، وَتَناوَلَ اللَّوْحَةَ النُّحاسِيَّةَ الَّتِي تَحْمِلُ اسْمَ عُمَرَ المُخْتارِ المُلْقاةَ فَوْقَ الرَّصيفِ، فَتَناوَلَها وَرَفَعَها بِيَدَيْهِ كَالرَّايَةِ بَيْنَ الجُموعِ الَّتِي انْطَلَقَتْ مُجَسِّدَةً صورَةً بَهِيَّةً لِلتَّضامُنِ العَرَبِيِّ، وَكانَ ذلِكَ بَعْدَ سَنَةٍ مِنَ اسْتِشْهادِ عُمَرَ المُخْتارِ.

A student, no older than ten, pulled a piece of chalk from his pocket and wrote the name of Omar Al-Mukhtar on the street wall. Other students followed suit, and the crowds gathered in the street grew restless. A man rushed forward, bent down, and picked up the copper sign bearing Omar Al-Mukhtar’s name from the sidewalk. He held it aloft like a banner amidst the throngs, who surged forward in a striking display of Arab solidarity. This happened one year after Omar Al-Mukhtar’s martyrdom.
