Ramallah - Zionist security sources last night claimed the murder of Sheikh
Ibrahim Hamed, 39, commander of the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of
the Hamas Movement, in the Ramallah district.

The sources said that a special army unit encircled Al-Kiswani building in
Massyun district in Ramallah and ordered all occupants out before flattening
the building.

They said that Hamed took refuge in the first floor and refused to surrender
to the Zionist unit then started hurling hand grenades at the soldiers who
retaliated by destroying the entire building over his head. No Palestinian
source would yet confirm the news.

The Zionist security apparatuses charge Hamed of masterminding a number of
commando attacks that left more than 80 Zionist soldiers and settlers killed
and 550 others wounded.

The Zionist special units had stormed the twin West Bank cities of Ramallah
and El-Bireh at dawn yesterday and started a large-scale campaign aimed at
murdering what they described the most dangerous Qassam cells in the West
Bank. Two of the Qassam Mujahideen were martyred earlier in the raid: Saleh
Talahme and Sayyed Al-Sheikh Qassem. They were among the most wanted
activists in the area.
