Hamas Parades "Locally-Made Tank" in a Gaza Commemoration of Seven Members
Killed Digging a Tunnel
http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/5293.htm

During a January 31 ceremony commemorating seven members who had been killed
in the collapse of a tunnel they were digging, Hamas’s Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam
Brigades paraded a “locally-made tank.” The Brigades’ spokesman, Abu Obeida,
then descended from the tank to deliver his speech. The ceremony was aired
by Hamas's Al-Aqsa TV.


Man #1: "The Tufah neighborhood (in Gaza) has a long story with enemy tanks,
and therefore, we are preparing ourselves for the day we shall meet those
tanks. Let the locally-produced vehicle move forward. These are the
mujahideen of (Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam) Brigades. They are led - in this
ceremony's surprising (highlight) - by the masked Abu Obeida, who came
here... These are the tanks that were trampled upon by the mujahideen in the
2014 war, during the (2014) Eaten Straw war. Let the masked man tell us the
story of the gun, the story of the martyrs. We welcome the red-keffiyeh man,
the spokesman for the Brigades, the mujahid, Abu Obeida.


Man #2: "As we welcome the man masked with a keffiyeh, let us point our
index finger towards Heaven, and renew our pledge of allegiance to Allah and
to the commanders of the Izz Al-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, and vow to continue
on the path of Jihad and resistance. Let us say: 'What is our goal? What is
our goal?'"


Man #1: "Allah."


Man #2: "What is our goal?"


Man #1: "Allah."


Man #2: "Who is our leader?"


Man #1: "The Prophet Muhammad."


Man #2: "Who is our leader?"

Man #2: "What is our constitution?"

Man #2: "What is our path? What is our path? What is our loftiest desire?"


Man #1: "To die for the sake of Allah."

Man #2: "What is our army?"
