Press Release
The Martyr Leaders are Alive with their Lord Granted the Gown of Dignity And those Ascribed as Leaders are Dead and Wrapped in a Gown of Humiliation
(Translated)

We have been pained by the assassination of leaders of al-Qassam martyrs, Al-Attar, Abu Shamala, and Barhoum, by the cowardly treacherous Jewish aircrafts, for the fact that this assassination has introduced the joy momentarily in the leaders of the occupation, but we are consoled in that they are alive with their Lord and are enjoying provisions. And that they have shoved the nose of the occupation forces in the sand with little weapons and equipment and left behind them men who follow their footsteps and aspire to meet their Lord in delight.

[وَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْوَاتًا بَلْ أَحْيَاءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ]

"Never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision" [Al-i-Imran: 169]

The responsibility of the blood of these martyr leaders and the blood of more than 12,000 martyred and wounded children, women, the elderly, and young people of the best of Gaza, lies on the neck of the rulers who stood watching the crimes of the occupation without mobilising their armies, stationed in the barracks, for the liberation of the people of Gaza and Masjid Al-Aqsa and all of occupied Palestine; from them who filled television stations with words but no action. And there were those who were sufficed by sending medicine to the wounded or coffins for the dead or treatment of the wounded, just as the Jewish occupation does, whose hands are soaked in the blood of the people of Gaza. Yet at the same time, opens up field hospitals to treat the wounded or facilitates the arrival of food and medicine to the people of Gaza, they are all killing machines called "euthanasia" and are partners in crime; may Allah (swt) destroy them and disgrace them in this world for their crimes and their negligence, and the torment of the Hereafter is more severe and worse if they were wise.

A small group which holds on to the rope of their Lord has proved that the defeat of the army of occupation and the end of the existence of its entity can be achieved by some battalions of armies from the ring countries or outside the ring if their intention is sincere and are well prepared, and why not? Since the army of Egypt made the occupation experience horrors of war in the 1973 War, why not? And a fraction of the Jordanian army, led by officers who rebelled against the political leadership and were sincere in their intention to Allah (swt), and some feda'een (freedom fighters) were able to defeat the occupation in the Battle Al-Karamah and shoved their noses in the sand.

The obvious truth realised by Hizb ut Tahrir and all the people of Palestine and even the Ummah of Islam is that this Ummah is able not only to eliminate the Jewish entity of the occupation and the liberation of the whole of Palestine, but they are able to liberate all the occupied countries and to expel America and other colonial powers back to their own backyard if there shall remain any home for them. We are confident that the Ummah with Hizb ut Tahrir at the forefront will establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" soon, by the permission of Allah (swt), that would move the Ummah's armies to destroy the Jewish entity and treat the leaders of this entity and its generals as war criminals.

[أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُواْ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَأْتِكُم مَّثَلُ الَّذِينَ خَلَوْاْ مِن قَبْلِكُم مَّسَّتْهُمُ الْبَأْسَاء وَالضَّرَّاء وَزُلْزِلُواْ حَتَّى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَعَهُ مَتَى نَصْرُ اللّهِ أَلا إِنَّ نَصْرَ اللّهِ قَرِيبٌ]

"Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you? They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said, "When is the help of Allah?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near" [Al-Baqara: 214]
