A poster with the photographs of several operatives belonging to Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military-terrorist wing, killed in Operation Cast Lead. The poster was co-published with the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades. The text on the bottom of the poster reads:
"[They] are those who ascended to Heaven, Allah willing, in the massacre against the Gaza Strip in December 2008" (mypal, a Palestinian online forum, December 31). Hamas's propaganda campaign attempts to play down the fact that most of those killed in the operation are terrorist operatives.
