gaza: press conference of Hamas armed wing

press conference of Hamas armed wing, Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades'spokesman Abu Obeida, a chilling warning to Israel

Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades كتائب الشهيد عز الدين القسام Ezzedine al-Qassam, Ezzedeen al-Qassam, Izzedine al-Qassam, Izzedine el Qassam ) are the armed wing of the Hamas Islamist militant group. The group is named after the Syrian-Palestinian Islamist Imam and agitator, Sheikh Izz ad-Din al-Qassam. The size of the group is not known, but their Web site claims that over 800 of their members have been killed. One may surmise that there are several thousand members in the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Israeli Intelligence estimates that they have about 8,000 members. However, they probably contributed a large number of troops to the Executive Force formed by the Hamas in 2006, which was instrumental in routing the substantial forces of the Fatah. It is not clear if the numerical estimate considers the Executive forces and Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades as separate forces. A different Israeli estimate puts the number of "Hamas fighters" at 20,000 (ref) . This number is currently quoted by Wikipedia(ref) as the size of the Al Qassam brigades, but it almost certainly includes Executive force and other groups.

The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and other groups have been expanding in Gaza following the violent takeover of the Gaza strip by the Hamas, allowing importation of weapons through a network of tunnels. It is believed that a group of Iranians are in Gaza training Hamas troops and that hundreds of them have also managed to go abroad for training.

In 1984 Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, Dr. Ibrahim Al-Maqadema, Sheikh Salah Shehada and others began to prepare for the establishment of an armed organization to resist the occupation. Their efforts concentrated on acquiring weapons for future resistance activity. However, members of the group were arrested and the weapons were confiscated. At the time, the group didnt operate under the name of Hamas or Al-Qassam Brigades.




In 1986 Sheikh Salah Shehada formed a network of resistance cells called Al-Mujahidoon Al-Filistinion (the Palestinian fighters). The network targeted the Zionist occupation troops and traitors. The network continued to work till 1989; and their most famous operations were the kidnappings of two occupation soldiers: Ilan Sadoon and Avi Sasbortas [Sasportas--MEW] . In addition, Hamas (officially established on December 14, 1987) formed other similar networks, such as Abdullah Azzam Brigades and Majd, the latter being a security branch against traitors.

Thus, the group was actually formed prior to the First Intifada but was only given its name during or after the First Intifada. Evidently, the operational leader of the group when it was founded was Yahya Ayash, though the nominal leader was Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, spiritual leader of Hamas. Ayash was killed by Israel in 1995. Muhammad Deif became the head of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam. Deif has been targeted by Israel several times, but escaped. He is rumored to be a quadruple amputee, and may be in Egyptian custody.

Ezzedeen Al-Qassam Brigades (EQB) was established in the midst of the Palestinian Intifada (1987-1994) against the Zionist occupation. Established at the height of the occupation crackdown against popular and armed resistance, EQB considers its effort as part of the resistance movement against the Zionist occupation of Palestinian lands, which has been ongoing since the British occupation. In light of this understanding, EQB aims: To contribute in the effort of liberating Palestine and restoring the rights of the Palestinian people under the sacred Islamic teachings of the Holy Quran, the Sunna (traditions) of Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and the traditions of Muslims rulers and scholars noted for their piety and dedication

I thought the holy cities for Muslims were Mecca and Medina. Will someone direct me to where in the Koran Jerusalem is mentioned as a holy city?

[otraverdad]

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far Distant place of worship the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him of Our tokens! Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer. (1)

first verse al-isra

the Far Distant place of worship is Al Aqsa mosque

@swkaufman When the Christians captured Jerusalem from the Muslims during the first crusades they slaughtered every Muslim and Jewish man, woman, and child. When Sallah Al Deen, Salladin, led the Muslim army led from the oldest city in the civilization of our planet earth Damascus and retook Jerusalem from the Christians they spared those that surrendered and allowe dto leave. Every religion of every denomination were allowed in the city afterwards. Learn your history.
