In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

“Among the Believers are men who have been true to their Covenant with Allah: of them some have completed their vow (to the extreme), and some (still) wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least:”

Qassam Brigades

Our Mujahid people … our Arab and Muslim Ummah:  

The Qassam Brigades would like to bear the glad tidings on the Mujahideen:

Martyr hero: Mahdi Hamed Mohammed Akl, 22, Breij refugee camp

who was martyred at 11 pm on Monday 29 Rabee Awal 1423H – 10/6/2002AD when our martyr hero cut the barbed wire of “Kusofim” settlement and clashed with a convoy of settlers that was escorted by an army jeep. The Zionist soldiers fired at our hero who died on the spot to join the convoy of martyrs.

And martyr hero: Mohammed Hussein Ibrahim Al-Jamal, 23, Nuseirat camp

who was martyred on Tuesday morning 30 Rabee Awal – 11/6/2002 when our martyr was performing his Jihad role in defending the Ummah’s honor while planting an explosive device at the area called Juhr Al-Deek. The device, which was intended to blow up Zionist patrols, blasted in him killing our hero instantly.

The Qassam Brigades, while offering one martyr after the other, would like to affirm its insistence on the road of Jihad and resistance. We have vowed before Allah to die as Mujahideen without paying attention to the bizarre calls urging us to halt our resistance and we will pursue along that road until Allah ordains for us either victory or martyrdom.

And it is a Jihad until either victory or martyrdom
