From Hebron, they announced a third Intifada, saying:
"We hereby, from the heart of the West Bank, in the revolutionary city of Hebron, declare the establishment of the National Unity Brigades in the Hebron district.""We announce that our brigades include supporters of al-Yasin (Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmad Yasin), al-Yasser (Fatah leader Yasser Arafat), al-Shiqaqi (Islamic Jihad leader Fathi al-Shiqaqi), and (PFLP leader) Abu Ali Mustafa."
"Our brigades support the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas' decision to announce a Palestinian state, and we will not cede a grain of sand of the Palestinian land from the sea to the river."
They listed demands. They called for ending militarized occupation, removing all checkpoints, releasing Palestinian prisoners, returning seized Palestinian revenues, opening Gaza crossings, and providing water and electricity services.
They continued, saying:
"Our message to the whole world and to the Zionist enemy is that our brigades declare the beginning of a third Palestinian Intifada from the heart of Hebron to extend to the rest of Palestine.""You should know Zionists that if you detain our people, we will kidnap your soldiers, and if you kill our people, we will kill."
"We will use an iron fist against you using all the power we have if you don't bring an end to this arrogance against our Palestinian people."
