Qassam Brigades military communiqué

 Blasting tank and armored personnel carrier and firing Banna missile at so-called Netsarim position

Our Mujahid Palestinian people … our Arab and Muslim Ummah:

The Qassam Brigades declare full responsibility for blasting a highly-explosive device weighing 70 kilograms under a Mirkava-3 that was passing in the so-called Netsarim area at 4.30 this evening Saturday 6^th Shaaban 1423H – 12.10.2002AD. The Brigades also declare responsibility for blasting another device to the west of that same area in an armored personnel carrier at 4.20 evening. Our Mujahideen then fired Banna missiles at the military position called Netsarim. Our Mujahideen returned safely to bases with the grace of Allah.

And it is a Jihad until either victory or martyrdom
