RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Gaza Strip will be on the Arab drama scene during Ramadan this year in the Hamas-backed “Qabdat al-Ahrar” ("Fist of the Free") series, which will air on more than 15 Palestinian and Arab satellite channels in April and May.
The 30-episode series starring a group of actors from the Gaza Strip has been in the works for around a year. Each episode lasts 40 minutes and aims to highlight the Palestinian narrative as opposed to the Israeli one and show the intelligence battle between the resistance factions in the Gaza Strip and Israel.
