January 14, 2005

A nearly three minute video featuring the Thursday night (January 13, 2005) terrorist attack at the Karni crossing on the border between Gaza and Israel is being circulated on jihadist message boards. The attack, which resulted in the death of six Israeli civilians and wounded five others, was named “Zalzalat al-Housoun” [The Quaking of the Strongholds]. The attack was jointly carried out by three terrorists, one each from al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, the Popular Resistance Committees, and Ezzeddine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. The three gunmen were killed by Israeli soldiers.

In the video, the three terrorists introduce themselves as,

1. “Allâh above willing, I the living martyr, Muhannad Abdul Rahman al-Mansi [Abu Jandal], son of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Nabil Massoud Martyrdom Unit.”

2. “The living martyr, Samir Muhammad Jeha from the legions of an-Naser Salaheddine in the Popular Resistance Committees, from the occupied city of Yafa.”

3. “The living martyr, Mahmoud Majdi Muhammad Muhammad al-Masri, from martyr Ezzeddine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas.”

Their statements indicated that this attack is for revenge on the Jews, the enemies of Allâh, and is in retaliation for the assassination of their leaders and the massacres performed by the occupation forces against the proud Palestinian people.
