    The Palestine Post⁩⁩, 3 February 1939:

    MUFTI CONDEMNED RY EX-TERRORKST FAKHRI ABDUL HABIS OPEN LETTER TO MUFTI

    In a leaflet which is being widely distributed the Arabs Fakhamong , ri Abdul Hadi, who was Fawzi Kaukaj’s lieutenant during the 1936 disturbances and who returned to Palestine from Damascus (where he had been in exile) some three months has rinted an ago, repopen letter sent to Haj Amin al Husseini, in which he bitterly referred to the machinations against himiself of Izzat Darwuza and others in the Mufti’s entourage.
    Fakhri Abdul Hadi is a native of Arrabeh village near Jenin, and he is reported to have led his own armed men in several clashes with gangs supporting the Mufti. Izzat Darwuza, the Mufti’s kinsman, who was Director of Waqfs in Jerusalem, has been acting as treasurer for the Palestinian exfles in Syria and the terrorists operating in this country.

    ARAB VS. ARAB

    Abdul Hadi criticised the oppressive regime under which the local Arab populace was suffering, and said that when men came to Arrabeh and killed five innocent villagers, he and his men took arms and shot dead ten of the attackers… He revealed also that his men had made an attempt to capture Yussef Abu Darra “who escaped by hiding among the women.” Abdul Hadi vehemently denied Darwuza’s accusations that he was a traitor, and concluded by saying that the Palestine “revolt” had ceased to be directed against the Government and the Jews — the latter were now safe — but was a war of blind hatred amongst the Arabs themselves. He warned that this could no longer be tolerated.
