Yassin Living on Borrowed Time
Israel Says Hamas Leader Yassin ‘Marked for Death’.
“He is marked for death and he had better dig deep underground, where he won’t be able to tell the difference between day and night,” Deputy Defense Minister Zeev Boim said of Yassin.“We will find him in his tunnels and liquidate him,” he told Army Radio. …
“I repeat that there is no room to speak about a truce,” Yassin, surrounded by bodyguards, said outside the Gaza mosque. “Resistance must continue, until the removal of the occupation.”
Asked if he feared for his life, he replied: “They have tried to kill Sheikh Ahmed Yassin before… I would like to say to them: We do not fear death threats. We are seekers of martyrdom.”
He said Israel knew he had “nothing to do with military activity” carried out by Hamas’s armed wing.
