The Zionist violations to calm

After recent events that have occurred on the territory of the Gaza Strip, after the Zionist treacherous aggression on our people, we are clarifying some facts to reach clear message to all parties, and the Zionist enemy to read between the lines ...

 

In 17:30 on Tuesday, November 11^th,2008, the Zionist special forces entered the east of Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza Strip, area known as "Abu Safiya",  the force has sneaked to the houses and surrounded number of Al Qassam members in the region.

 

The mujahedeen discovered these Special Forces, then they detonated three explosive devices against them, and clashed with them face to face. Many groups of Al Qassam Brigades directed to reinforces the surrounded mujahedeen and fired number of mortars, the Zionist forces confused, so the Zionist troops forced to pull out so the mujahedeen managed to retreat to their bases safely.

 

The Zionist warplanes bombed areas around the region, which led to the martyrdom of field commander Mazen Saada ”he was from the groups which saved the Mujahedeen”.

 

In the same time, the Zionist war planes targeted another group of Al Qassam Brigades east of the town of Qarara east of Khanyounis city, which was also to cover on the mujahedeen withdrawal from east of Deir Al-Balah, which led to the martyrdom of five Mujahedeen from the Qassam Brigades. They are Mahmoud Mohammed Balusha’a, Mohammed Awad, Wajid muharib, Omar Al Alami and Ammar Salhia.

 
The mujahedeen assured that the Zionist soldiers had received real casualties among the Special Forces, but as usually the Zionist forces admitted only of injuring six Zionist soldiers one of them are in serious conditions.

 

The Brigades as a response to this crime fired (51) Qassam rockets and more than (50) mortars shells.

 

We are emphasis on the following:

 
1) Our commitment to the calm depends on the commitment of the enemy, the occupation must aware that we did not agree on calm from a position of weakness, but we are able to return to the battle at any time.

2) The deadline of ending the calm is approaching, and we will not extend the calm until the occupation is committed to all calm conditions as opening crossings and lifting the siege.

 

3) Any new Zionist aggression on the Gaza Strip, we will respond by painful strikes in the depth of the Zionist enemy and the occupation will pay a heavy price than expected.

 

4) We are stressing that what has happened east of the Central Province was not a success for the occupation but miserably failing, and the enemy will discover that after a while.

 

5) Al Qassam Brigades will remain a thorn in the throat of the Zionists, and our acceptance to the calm was only an estimate for the benefit of our people at this stage, but this will not prevent us to respond to aggression with full force if the executed a new offense.
