On the 85th anniversary of Izz ad-Din al-Qassam’s martyrdom, Hamas states the following:
Eighty-five years ago, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, a Muslim Arab Syrian freedom fighter who led the revolution against the British occupation to Palestine, was martyred by the British colonisers on the land of Palestine.
Al-Qassam had a strategic vision that the issue of Palestine should be considered as an Arab and Islamic cause and thus every Muslim and Arab should shoulder the responsibility of defending Palestine. This vision also set resistance as the sole means to liberate Palestine.
Al-Qassam-led honourable revolution was an icon of freedom struggle against colonialists. Moreover, this freedom fighter sacrificed himself for this cause and his martyrdom led to the Grand Palestinian Revolution in 1936.
We are very proud that our military wing is named after this Arab and Muslim hero and Al-Qassam Army now follows his footprints until liberation.
May Al-Qassam now rest in peace!
Hamas Movement
