Just a day after being damaged in an IDF attack, Hamas repaired the "Al-Fateh" observation tower in front of Nativ Ha'asara Hamas-supporters are proudly sharing the attached pictures. The observation tower that was at the center of attention this weekend in the Gaza Strip has been repaired and returned to its former state, now with flags and a banner with the three martyred terrorists.
Hamas also named the observation tower "Al-Fateh", which translates to: "The Conqueror" or "The Ruler". This name carries a lot of historical significance. For example, Muhammad II the Ottoman Sultan who conquered Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) in 1453 and is considered a national hero in Turkey was nicknamed "Al-Fateh".
This tower's symbolic importance has become more important that its strategic one. So until the next round of exchange of fire between Hamas and the IDF, "Al-Fateh" is here to stay. And judging by this weekend's events, Hamas will likely repair and rebuild it a hundred times over if necessary.
