Mabhouh: Who chooses the path of resistance knows its end

Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh, the Hamas military leader who was assassinated in Dubai city at the hands of the Israeli Mossad a couple of weeks ago, had asserted that he chose the path of resistance and he knows what is the end of this path.

In a recorded interview he made with Al-Jazeera satellite channel and published on January 6 this year, Mabhouh, who appeared hiding his face behind his Palestinian Coufeyya, disclosed that the Israeli Mossad was hunting him for nearly two decades after they discovered he was the one behind the capturing of two Israeli soldiers in 1989.

He also revealed that the Israeli Mossad tried to kill him three times, the first was in the Gaza Strip in 1991 after which and at the orders of his superiors he left the Strip; the second, he added, was in the same period the Israeli Mossad assassinated Qassam military leader Ezzidein Sheikh Khalil in 2004; and the third was after the Mossad killed Hizbullah military chief Emad Mughneyya in Damascus in 2008.

“I know that I am a target for the Mossad but I enjoy a very good security sense but my life is in the Hand of Allah, my Creator, and I know what will be the end of this path that I have chosen”, Mabhouh said in the interview.

Moreover, Mabhouh expressed hope that the Palestinian resistance would continue to take revenge on the Israeli occupation for the heinous crimes that they have committed against the Palestinian people.

Mabhouh was one of the founders of the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas Movement, in the eighties of the past century. He was assassinated at the hands of a Mossad team holding Irish passports in Dubai city on January 20 this year.
