Hamas Bombmaker: "Israel's Fall is Near"
(Maariv-Hebrew, 9 Mar 03) Joseph Nasr - Hamas' co-founder and top bombmaker Muhammad Deif said in a taped message: "Israel's fall is near, with Allah's help, and it is closer than they imagine. We will see victory with our very own eyes. Martyrdom is the ultimate desire of Palestine's elderly, young, and female young," Channel 2 TV reported Monday. Deif declared that Hamas engineers will persist in perfecting explosive devices and rockets, that the organization receives hundreds of volunteer suicide-bombers, including entire families, and that the number of joint operations with other Palestinian groups will increase. (Jerusalem Post) Deif made clear that Hamas' Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades makes no distinction between the two sides of the "green line." "There is no difference between our land that was conquered in 1948 and that which was conquered in 1967," he said.
