In 2004, the first response to the assassination of Hamas’ spiritual head Ahmed Yassin came in the form of a joint operation by Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades and Al-Qassam Brigades. At the colonial Erez crossing in Gaza, the determined 22-year-old Fadi Ahmed Al-Amoudi carried out the martyrdom operation with his eyes set on the Shin Bet. This took careful planning; the resistance’s engineers spent weeks to come up with an innovative way to bypass the zionist’s metal detectors, and a new type of explosive was forged. Fadi was ready; he recited his will describing his “faith in right to live on the sacred land of Palestine and the continuation of the path of resistance.”
On the fateful Saturday, he headed to the crossing to carry out his operation, filmed in its entirety by Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades. The explosive detontated, killing three zionist intelligence officers and wounding two others. This operation proved the failure of all levels of “security” and “intelligence” that the zionists thought provided them safety.

In 2006, Samer Hammad made his way to the epicenter of the zionist entity, “Tel Aviv,” prepared to ascend to martyrdom. In the midst of heightened occupation security activity due to Passover, he snuck across multiple colonial barriers with 13 kilograms of explosive material. 11 settlers were killed and over 70 wounded as Hammad ascended to martyrdom.
The operation came as a tribute to Palestinians imprisoned by the occupation, and yet another confirmation that resistance continues until victory. The hero martyr’s body was held by the occupation for six years before being returned to his family. In his will, Hammad wrote:
“Convoys of martyrdom fighters are coming and are prepared to respond [to the enemy]. They will know that we love martyrdom and death as they love life.”
Glory to the resistance! Glory to those who offer the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the liberation of the homeland!
