Yazan Jaber: A terrible feeling
gripped me when I announced my victory after the final competition, when I
carried the Palestinian flag on the stage and heard the Palestinian national
anthem singing throughout the place
Upon reaching the town of Al-Issawiya in Jerusalem, the effects of the
daily confrontations with the occupation forces are evident in the streets and
alleys, but the townspeople insist on practicing their normal lives despite the
many obstacles and forms of abuse.
The recent confrontations erupted
after it was announced that the town's son would receive martial arts champion
Yazan Jaber, who returned with a gold medal from Kyrgyzstan on Sunday evening.
To spoil the joy of his reception,
the occupation army and special forces stormed the town and tried to disperse
the crowds that gathered to receive the first Palestinian to win the gold medal
for Palestinian sports in "mixed martial arts" (MMA) after he
participated in the 2021 Asian Gamma Championship that was held in Kyrgyzstan.
Jaber received Al-Jazeera Net at
his home after returning from a medical visit due to injuries that concentrated
in his legs during the three competitions he fought, and although he practices
one of the most violent types of sports, he seemed calm, spoke in a low voice,
and chose his words carefully.
