In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

 Danger .. danger .. danger

O sons of Islam .. beware

My dear Muslim brother in blessed Palestine

 Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh

You have to be careful because your are in danger and your brothers’ blood is in danger and your brothers’ efforts are in danger .. but what is that danger?

The escalation of Islamic resistance in Palestine that inflicted severe losses in lines of the Zionist enemy had led our criminal enemy to trek all possible means to eliminate resistance including shelling and murdering children, women and men without excluding anyone. Children are future martyrdom commandos, according to the enemy’s viewpoint, and women are the ones who give birth to martyrs and men are the expected martyrs. All in its view have turned into terrorists, even the trees and houses were not spared in the Nazi Jews’ crimes. But there is something more dangerous than all this.

The cunning Jews have seen the spirit of martyrdom and Jihad constantly escalating in lines of our Muslim Youth so they cruelly exploited this growing spirit. They made use of our youths’ enthusiasm and trivial knowledge of the Zionist intelligence’s malicious methods. Zionist intelligence elements contacted some of our enthusiastic youths through the mobile phones claiming to be military commanders of Hamas Movement abroad or leaders of the Hizbullah party or any other organization. They start by deceiving them into believing that story then promise them to supply arms, explosives or technical know-how to manufacture explosives and others. They then ask for information on other brothers who have the same enthusiasm for Jihad so as to recruit them and ask them to recruit those youths and send all details about them (to be an easy prey in future). The inexperienced brothers fall easy victims to such deception and supply them with highly dangerous secrets. Enemies know important details about our youths who are yearning for martyrdom and arrest them on roadblocks, recruit them or at least beware of them and abort their future operations. Thus this enthusiastic, naive brother serves as a volunteer spy for the enemy informing it of news and secrets of our Mujahid youth.

Our Mujahid brother … our Muslim brother...

Our love of you and our keenness on our people and cause have necessitated our warning of such dangers so that you would not fall prey in the whirlpool of collaboration without knowing it and so as not to damage where you intended to help. Thus we would like to advise you through the following instructions:

1- Do not believe anyone contacting you over the mobile or other contact means when he tells you that he is a member of the military command of Hamas or Hizbullah or even Ben Laden or any other faction. Those factions, after exposing the enemy’s deception, no longer use this method to contact its Mujahideen but rather consider anybody employing such a method as a hostile intelligence agent who plans to penetrate the Palestinian people’s lines through the contacted youth.

2- Do not give any information about your brothers to any other person over the telephone or others. Consider anyone asking for information about your people as an agent that wished to nail you and to recruit you as an agent.

3- Some of those elements would attempt to confuse you by claiming they know everything about you but do not be rest assured and know that they collected such information from a naïve person who was deceived in the same way. Do not deal with them and end the contact immediately after insinuating that you have nothing to do with resistance.

4- If this happened to you go and tell the nearest Mujahid brother about what happened so that he would help you in evading intelligence tricks.

5- If you gave any information by mistake about anyone of your brothers, tell him so that he would not be the next victim.

6- Do not be in a hurry to take part in Jihad as a result of your over enthusiasm and thus work with anyone. You are precious to Muslims and your blood must not be wasted in vain. Trust that your loyalty and truthfulness would not be ignored by your brothers the Mujahideen and you will take your turn as Allah Ordains. So do not accept promises from anyone and remember the Sahabi Abdullah bin Omar’s statement namely to take advice from those who are on the right path.

7-Warn all your brothers whom you believe had fallen victims to those criminals.

 May Allah protect you from strife and protect our Mujahid, patient people from the Jews’ cunning

Wassalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
