Establishment
Announcing its establishment in November 2008, Jund Ansar Allah was led by Sheikh Abdel Latif Moussa, an "Egyptian-educated physician-turned-cleric," was the group's spiritual leader. About two years ago, he left his medical practice in Rafah to become one of the most influential preachers in the southern Gaza Strip. In his Friday sermons that attracted thousands of young men, Moussa argued that Hamas had failed to properly institute Sharia law and had become too lenient. Hamas repeatedly warned Moussa and his followers abandon his mosque in Rafah

On Friday, August 14, 2009, Moussa unexpectedly declared the creation of an Islamic emirate in the Gaza Strip before 100 of his armed followers at his Rafah mosque. During his sermon, Moussa condemned Hamas for failing to implement Sharia law and acting like a "secular government."

Regarding the sermon as a challenge to its rule over the Gaza Strip, Hamas forces surrounded the mosque and demanded those inside surrender. Exchanges of gunfire erupted into a full-scale battle. During the firefight, 24 Palestinians were killed and more than 130 injured

Hamas did not permit media coverage of the event, barring journalists from entering Rafah or interviewing the wounded.

Motives for HAMAS Massacre

This unjustifiable act of HAMAS had a few motives. One of these being that HAMAS wanted to show the infidel powers that it should not be obsessed with HAMAS's own covenant which was announced during its establishment in which it vowed for implementing Islamic Sharia Law as well as taking up the cause of oppressed people worldwide. It wants to send a sign to the world that it has been corrupted enough by gaining power and is willing to act like a brave lap dog, and oppress it's people like all the regimes in the Middle East. That it wants a chance to prove its loyalty, thus shedding blood of Muslims was done to please the kuffar, the enemies of Islam, to gain their support, credibility and favors. Merely a noble announcement of establishing an Emirate that would uphold the Islamic Sharia Law at its highest what it deserves led the HAMAS bandits go on a killing rampage. May Allah SWT punish these wrong doers, these traitors and hypocrites, and reward the fallen soldiers of Jund Ansar Allah with Jannatul Firdaus. May Allah accept them as Shaheed fisabilillahi. Ameen.

It was Shaykh Ahmed Yasin raheema’Allah who said;

“Sons of Islam everywhere, the jihad is a duty - to establish the rule of Allah on earth and to liberate your countries and yourselves from America’s domination and its Zionist allies, it is your battle - either victory or martyrdom”
