The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, announced on January 16, 2009 that Comrade Commander Ashraf Ribhi Banar, fell in the battlefield while defending his people in Gaza.
Comrade Banar demonstrated heroism on many occasions, and was in charge of the missile unit in the eastern Gaza area. Comrade Banar carried out a heroic operation utilizing a B-27 shell against the occupation tanks, in which a tank was a destroyed and several occupation soldiers were killed and wounded.
AAMB immediately responded with a barrage of rocket fire, launching 6 Grad rockets toward Bir Saba and Nafa, and 7 Sumoud missiles toward Sderot, the Western Naqab and occupied Asqalan.
Glory to our comrade! Victory is ours!
Responding to Olmert's speech
Our armed forces responded to Olmert's deceptive statement of January 19, 2009 about stopping airstrikes while maintaining occupation forces, by stating that these occupation ground forces will be met with missiles, explosive devices, bombs, snipers, B-27 anti tank weapons and all of the forces at our disposal.
The missiles and rockets will not stop, and our forces immediately announced the launching of Sumoud rockets against the occupier following Olmert's speech in defiance of the continued threats of the occupier and demonstrating the steadfast continuation of our resistance. Any ground forces in Gaza, left behind as a defeated army, will be met with force and resistance until the Zionist invaders are swept away and Gaza is sovereign.
Towards victory!
