Gaza - The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Movement, today
issued a statement bearing the glad tidings on the martyrdom of two
prominent field commanders in the West Bank following a violent
confrontation with the Zionist occupation's special forces.

The statement said that while agents were surrendering Palestinian people's
rights in Geneva (referring to the signing of the Switzerland document on
the same day) the Qassam Mujahideen fought the invading Zionist forces to
the finish in Ramallah.

It said that the battle was a clear message to those "criminal land brokers"
namely that Palestine would remain an Arab and Muslim country and that not
one inch of its soil was for sale.

The statement said that the message further underlined that the right of
resisting usurpers of Palestinian lands was a religious and national duty.

The Qassam statement said that martyr Sayed Abdul Karim Al-Sheikh Qassem,
30, and martyr Saleh Mahmoud Talahme, 40, were adamant on fighting the
invading enemy force refusing calls for surrender thus declaring insistence
on resistance and martyrdom.

The Qassam statement urged all cells and resistance factions to escalate
operations against Zionist targets and interests in retaliation to
occupation forces.

The Qassam Brigades described the signing of the Switzerland document
yesterday as a betrayal to the Ummah and urged the Palestinian and Muslim
masses to shun the signatories.
