Unidentified would-be suicide bomber: "I give my life cheaply on the path of Almighty Allah. We say to the criminal enemy (i.e., Israel) that every passing day of the aggression against our relatives and our people in the Gaza Strip (i.e., in the 2023 Gaza war) multiplies the bill of blood and revenge, and nothing will be accepted in exchange for blood except blood…We in the Martyr Izz A-Din Al-Qassam Brigades say to the thieving enemy that the waterfall of blood flowing over the land of the Gaza Strip will be answered with a flood of Martyrdom-seeking operations, which will deprive [the enemy] of sleep in his home.
This is Jihad – victory or Martyrdom.
Your son, a living Martyr, Allah willing, …a member of the Martyr Izz A-Din Al-Qassam Brigades."
