Sheikh ahmed yassin biography template

(Islam Times) - "All my life I have dreamed of martyrdom." This is what the founder of Hamas resistance movement used to say before the Israeli occupation army assassinated him on the 22nd of March 2004.By: Hanan Awarekeh 

By killing the spiritual leader of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Israel wanted to deal a deadly blow to Hamas, however the act had backfired.

Israel granted Sheikh Yassin his greatest wish, gave unprecedented boost to the resistance movement in occupied Palestine, and made of him a resistance icon in the Arab and Islamic worlds.

Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Hassan Yassin was born in the village of Al-Jora, Majdal district, in 1938 and sought refuge alongside his family in the nearby Gaza Strip following the 1948 Nakba or the usurpation of most of Palestine by the Zionist entity.

Sheikh Yassin was paralyzed when he was 12 years old as a result of an accident while exercising on the beaches of Gaza.
