Farhan al-Sa'di
Sheikh Farhan al-Saadi was born in the village Mazar in Jenin, Palestine. He participated in national conferences and demonstrations against the power continuously, and in the revolution of 1929. He is thought to be the first to use a weapon during the 1936 revolt.[1]
A band of fighters in the Jenin district addressed to the rulers of rebellion and disobedience, I withdrew the authority and imprisoned three years in prison in Acre, Nour's imprisonment sun.[clarification needed] When he was released from prison he moved to Haifa, where he met Sheikh Izz al-Din al-Qassam and joined his organisation.[2] On 15 April 1936 a group, Ikhwan al-Qassam under al-Sa'di's leadership, ambushed a bus on the Nablus-Tulkarm road. Three Jewish passengers were taken of the bus and shot, two of them fataly.[3] This incident is seen as the starting point of the 1936-1939 Arab Revolt. For the many operations against the British Mandate he was sentenced to death. He was executed on 22 November 1937, at the age of 80 during the Ramadan fast.[4][1]
