“It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest …”

 Military communiqué by Qassam Brigades

Anti-terrorist unit

Blows up a building of Zionist terrorists

Our Palestinian people … our Arab and Islamic Nation:

With the grace of Allah the Qassam Brigades declares responsibility for the destruction of a building used by Zionist terrorists to practice their terrorist activity: killing and assassinating our people and spreading corruption in the steadfast city of Rafah.

Today Wednesday 9^th Rajab 1422H (26/9/2001AD) our Mujahideen planted a big quantity of explosives under the foundations of the Zionist terrorist den then blow it up on heads of its occupants. They resembled the Quranic verses: “… but Allah took their structures from their foundations, and the roof fell down on them from above; and the Wrath seized them from directions they did not perceive.”

Our proud Palestinian people:

Your enemy is weak and coward; so do not be afraid of its military war machine. Your belief in Allah, your solid determination and unity of lines are stronger than your enemy’s military might. Keep up the determination to get that enemy out of our lands through Jihad and resistance and we are capable, with the help of Allah, to force that enemy out of our lands after a military defeat similar to the way its soldiers fled South Lebanon. Our operation is in response to occupation and its murders and terrorist practices. It also asserts our insistence on persisting along the road of Jihad and resistance until ejection of the enemy and to let it know we are capable of reaching its soldiers even if they hide in the clouds.

PS: we affirm that the operation has been filmed.

And it is a Jihad until either victory of martyrdom
