In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

Detailed Communiqué

By the Qassam Brigades

On the heroic and qualitative operation in “Adora”

“Assault them at the (proper) Gate: when once ye are in, victory will be yours;”

Our heroic Palestinian people:

The Qassam lions strike anew carrying with them hope after healing wounds to prove that they are capable of continuing in resistance. They proved that they are capable of surprising the arrogant enemy from where it does not expect strikes. They deal one blow after the other to that enemy proving that the strike, which does not annihilate us, only increases our strength, challenge and insistence on our lands after purging it from Jewish filth. This right is only obtainable through resistance and Jihad regardless of sacrifice. This message was relayed by the Qassam Mujahideen to the Zionists through the operation in “Adora settlement”.

Our stationed people:

A unit of the Qassam Brigades (unit of martyr Abbas Al-Uweiwei) managed to penetrate the settlement immediately after the dawn prayers. Members of the unit entered one of the deserted houses where they remained until 9.30 then they got out of their position and entered the settlement’s houses one after the other. They entered all houses in the settlement inflicting casualties in lines of all settlers who were either killed or wounded and spreading panic in the settlement without any resistance worth mentioning on the part of the settlers or even the guards. Our Mujahideen remained in the settlement looking for new targets to strike after which they left to a nearby olive grove. Two hours after waiting for new targets, “Israeli” warplanes started moving in the skies and the Mujahideen noticed “Israeli” infantry forces moving in the nearby fields. The Mujahideen could have returned safely to bases but they were keen on martyrdom rather than returning safe and sound as one of them told the others: “I did not come here to return home (safe)”. The unit then decided to attack the occupation troops in the area. One of them surprised the Zionist soldiers from the rear while the others attacked them from the front killing and wounding a big number of Zionist soldiers. Intensified firing ensued leading to the martyrdom of the outstanding Qassam hero: Martyr Tarek Rasmi Dofish, 20, who was a student at the Poly-technique-Palestine University.

The enemy’s vehicles along with its land, air and armored forces were deployed over vast areas of nearby lands. The occupation soldiers staged a large-scale combing operation for 40 hours while our Mujahideen, with the grace of Allah, managed to evacuate the area returning safely and victorious to bases after healing the breast of believers and revenging for the blood of the martyrs the commanders: Akarm Al-Atrash (Abul Qassam) and Marwan Zalloum (Abu Saja).

Our Mujahid people:

We in the Qassam Brigades vow before Allah then you to continue in resistance and Jihad until realizing Palestinian rights regardless of sacrifices or prices and to remain loyal to blood of martyrs and their sacrifices.

May Allah have mercy on our martyr hero Tarek Rasmi Dofish who was so keen on martyrdom for the cause of Allah more than returning safely and victorious to his family and home. May Allah preserve our people’s Mujahideen and from one victory to another Insha’allah.

“And We wished to be gracious to those who were being depressed on the land, to make them leaders (in faith) and make them heirs,”

Wallahu Akbar Walillahi El-Hamd

Wallaho Akbar and victory for Islam

And it is a Jihad until either victory or martyrdom
