A new group based in Nablus, Palestine, has recently emerged, calling themselves the Grandchildren of Yassin Brigade. In the past few days, this group has already engaged in clashes in Nablus, Jenin, and Tulkarem, signaling their presence and intentions across the region.
The Grandchildren of Yassin Brigade is made up of fighters from various factions, uniting under a new banner. Despite the diversity among its members, they have pledged to be present in all areas affected by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The clashes that have occurred in Nablus, Jenin, and Tulkarem have resulted in several casualties and injuries. Reports suggest that the group has been targeting Zionist occupation forces in these areas, using both conventional and unconventional tactics.
The Grandchildren of Yassin Brigade takes its name from Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the founder of the Palestinian Islamist organization Hamas. Yassin was a prominent figure in the resistance movement and was assassinated by the Israeli government in 2004. The choice of this name indicates the group’s ideological alignment and their commitment to continuing the struggle for Palestinian rights.
Below is their annoucement communique in its entirety:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
“And do not think those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive, with their Lord, receiving provision.”
This is the truth of Allah Almighty.O sons of Nablus, the Mountain of Fire,
Here is the ruthless enemy violating our sons and killing our children, the pieces of our livers [those most dear to us].
Today, the occupation army has committed a new assassination crime against our brave prisoners with the martyrdom of the heroic prisoner Abdulrahman Bassem Al-Bahsh (23 years old) from Nablus in “Megiddo” prison, detained since May 31, 2022, and sentenced to 35 months in prison.
We, as the sons of Nablus, the Mountain of Fire, in particular, and sons of Palestine in general, will respond in our own way, and the occupier will understand our intent.
We have managed to carry out 9 operations at the checkpoints and settlements near Nablus and directly detonated more than one explosive device in the Old City of Nablus, targeting a number of soldiers.
We do not count statements nor write words.
We inscribe unity, freedom, and popular resistance.We will be lying in wait for them wherever they are, as our Brigade is present in all the governates of Palestine and in the occupied interior.
Very soon, you will see and hear what pleases you, with documentation to show the occupier the losses he hides and does not reveal.
We have much that only Allah knows.In the name of Allah, we strike.
In the name of Allah, we hit.Tuesday, 2/1/2024
