Marj al-Zuhur includes six chapters which narrate in details the suffering of the deportees since they were arrested and gathered by the Israeli forces following an operation carried out by Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing. This operation led to the abduction of an Israeli soldier who was later killed after Israel failed to comply with the conditions of his release.
The book also talks about the creativity of the deportees and their capacities in management and organization. It sheds light on the media battle between them and Israel. The author displays the deportees’ influence on the Arabs in general, and on the Palestinian and Lebanese masses in particular.
