“Fight them, and Allah will punish them by your hands, cover them with shame, help you (to victory) over them, heal the breasts of Believers.”

Qassam Brigades military communiqué

With the grace of Allah the Qassam Mujahid hero:

 Ra’ed Nabil Al-Barguthi

From Abud village, Ramallah district

launched a martyrdom operation on Tuesday 4/9/01 at Al-Anbiyaa street in the heart of occupied Al-Quds after penetrating all enemy security lines and smashing the myth of its security apparatuses that claim incessant successes. The operation led to the death of five Zionists and the injury of scores others, according to our own sources. Our Mujahideen, who shared in the attack, have returned safely to bases waiting for the next operation.

The act is a revenge to the blood of our martyrs and in retaliation to the cowardly assassination attempt against our Mujahideen the commanders Mohammed Daif and Adnan Al-Ghoul and the assassination of Abu Ali Mustafa. The reprisal is merely the first in a series of Qassam operations that would force terrorist Sharon and his General Mofaz to admit their defeat in face of the Jihad and resistance determination. We tell Mofaz that although he escaped from Qassam bullets near Al-Quds last week, next week he won’t survive, God willing.

Finally, we present this operation as a special gift to Qassam Mujahid martyr Bilal Al-Ghoul who sacrificed himself to protect his father … wait for Qassam’s next surprise.

Wallahu Akbar wa Lillah Al-Hamad

And it is a Jihad until either victory or martyrdom
