In the name of Allah the most Gracious the most Merciful

“It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest , it was not thy act, but Allah's …”

Qassam Brigades military communiqué

Blasting a remote-controlled device inside the Nitsar Hazani settlement

With the grace of Allah the Qassam Brigades declare responsibility for storming the settlement of Nistar Hazani and blasting a remote-controlled device, near the water tank that supplies the complex of Gush Qatif settlements with fresh water, as a Zionist foot patrol was passing by on Friday 27/4/2001.

The Zionist enemy’s radio admitted the operation claiming that an officer and a Zionist settler were wounded in the operation.

Our Palestinian people:

Our Arab and Islamic Nation:

The explosion was remote controlled so that the occupiers would suffer from the same methods used against us.

We vow before Allah then before you to persist along the same road until defeat of occupation.

And it is a Jihad until either victory or martyrdom

Allahu Akbar wa Lillahi Al-Hamd
