Gaza - The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, has categorically denied that one of its field commanders, who was martyred in yesterday’s Zionist incursion, was involved in the killing of three Americans in northern Gaza more than three months ago. Zionist sources claimed that Hani Abu Skheila, 27, was involved in the blast that targeted an American motorcade on 15/10/2003 and killed three Americans. The sources further claimed that Abu Skheila was one of the bodyguards of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Hamas founder and spiritual leader, and participated in a number of operations against occupation forces. Sheikh Saeed Siyam, one of the Hamas leaders, described such allegations as sheer lies, explaining that Abu Skheila was one of the Qassam commanders in northern Gaza Strip but was not involved in any way in the killing of the three Americans. He recalled that the Qassam Brigades had issued a statement yesterday denying any connection to the American motorcade blast. Siyam further said that the martyr was not one of Sheikh Yassin’s bodyguards, which further revealed the Zionist lies.
The Qassam Brigades had mourned the death of Abu Skheila in his capacity as one of the prominent Qassam commanders who took part in a number of major operations against occupation forces. The statement said that Abu Skheila survived two assassination attempts last year and had several courageous and heroic stands. The statement revealed that Abu Skheila had participated in the martyrdom operation of the Qassam Brigades’ first female commando Reem Al-Rayashi in Erez crossing that left four Zionist soldiers dead and ten others wounded. The martyr was also working in the manufacturing of Qassam missiles, mortar shells and explosive devices, according to the statement.
