 Qassam Brigades explanatory note

On handing agent Abdul Hai Al-Sababi to preventive security apparatus

General command of the Qassam Brigades declares that handing agent Abdul Hai Thiyab Al-Sababi, also known as Ahmed, who is the main suspect in assassinating martyr commander Yasser Rezk and his fellow Mujahideen, to the preventive security apparatus in Rafah was in response to orders by the higher command of the Brigades in Gaza Strip. The delivery was in abidance to our wise leadership’s directives in the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas. Consequently, we ask our brothers the Mujahideen in Qassam units in steadfast Rafah to rally in support of their leadership that exerted all efforts possible to arrest the main suspect in assassinating the Mujahideen and interrogating him. We also urge them to direct their anger against the Zionist enemy. Here we would like to address our thanks to leadership of the military apparatus in Rafah in view of their strenuous efforts exerted for the sake of uncovering the truth.

The Qassam Brigades would like to declare that revenge for the blood of martyrs was approaching the Zionists and their agents along with all those who attempt to hurt our Mujahid Palestinian people.

Let relatives of the martyrs know that revenge for blood of their sons is coming soon with the grace of Allah.

 “And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!”

and it is a Jihad until either victory or martyrdom
