playground of death to defend their people from any attack by the enemy..
Today , Al-Qassam Brigades mourn the death of the Mujahed :

Iyad Asad Shelbaieh [38 years old]

Nour Shams camp - Tulkarem city

Who was martyred on Friday, 17/9/2010, after the Zionist occupation forces
assassinated him in cold blood when the soldiers opened fire from close
range after storming his house; the martyr is one of the first mujahedeen
who led the Jihad work in Al Aqsa Intifada. He was detained by the
occupation forces several times, and by Abbas authority more than 10 times
in which he was tortured, and he was released from the Fattah prisons two
days before martyrdom in a clear indication to the complicity of these
militias with the occupation in the assassination of the commander.

Al-Qassam Brigades confirms the following:

First: Congratulations to our people the martyrdom of the leader Iyad
Shelbaieh who sacrificed his whole life for jihad.

Second: We hold the Zionist occupation full responsibility for this heinous
crime, and it bears all the consequences.

Third: The assassination reveals the ugly face of Fattah authority and its
complicity with the occupation.

Fourth: The blood of the martyr will be curse on the occupation and
traitors, and it will not go in vain, God willing, but will remain the fuel
of the path of Jihad and resistance.
