Qassam Brigades declare martyrdom of fighter
2004-11-12
The Qassam Suicide Rocket Mark I had problems with horizontal stabilization. More seriously, from the Hamas point of view, fully 60 percent of them failed to explode on impact.
The Qassam Brigades, military wing of the Hamas Movement, mourned the Mujahid Fathi Issa Al-Tal, who was martyred while attempting to swim his way into a Zionist settlement in the Gaza Strip.
I think this means they've given up on trying to perfect the dread Qassam Suicide Rocket...
The Qassam communiqué pointed out that Fathi, 30, insisted on carrying out his attempt on Lailatul Qadr (Night of Revelation) after offering prayers and Etikaf (staying in mosques during the last ten days of the holy fasting month of Ramadan praying, reciting Quranic verses and asking for Allah's Forgiveness). The martyr attempted to infiltrate into the Zionist settlement of Doget to carry out a martyrdom operation but Zionist gunboats detected and killed him.
"Snuffy off the port bow, sir! 60 meters!"
"You may fire when ready, Moshe!"
Meanwhile, Zionist army sources today admitted that mortar shells fired by the Qassam Brigades had slammed into the Neveh Dekhalim settlement yesterday and that one of the settlers was injured. The Qassam Brigades today took the credit for launching a Qassam missile at the Nitzar Hazani settlement to the northwest of Khan Younis city. The military wing fired two mortar shells later today at the Atsmona settlement and three Yassin projectiles at Zionist bulldozers to the southwest of Gaza city. The communiqué noted that the three bulldozes were being escorted into Sheikh Ajleen area. For its part the military wing of the popular resistance committees declared today the firing of four upgraded Nasser-2 missiles at the Netsarim settlement south of the Gaza city.
