	Ahmed Yassin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yassin was born near the town of Majdal (renamed Ashkelon after the residents fled or were expelled, in the 1948 war) in then British Mandate of Palestine.
		Yassin opposed peaceful conciliation with the Israelis, asserting that the land of Israel is "consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day" and that "The so-called peace path is not peace and it is not a substitute for jihad and resistance." [1].
		Israel accused Yassin of ordering the execution of two captured Israeli soldiers, a crime for which he was arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment by an Israeli military court.

		Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, killed when three Israeli missiles struck his limp, wheelchair-bound body on 22 March, had spent the six and a half years since his release from an Israeli cell consciously and successfully turning himself into a symbol of Palestine.
		Yassin's response was not inflexibility; after all, he had been proposing an extended truce with Israel from his letters from prison since 1994, in return for an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
		Yassin's key legacy for Palestinians may not be so much in the violent form of that resistance that he preached but rather in so reconnecting Palestinians' sense of their own integrity with the legitimacy of their cause.

		Hamas — with Yassin at its head — was responsible for the deaths of 377 Israelis in at least 425 terrorist attacks over the past three-and-a-half years of the Palestinian Authority's war against Israel.
		The last attack for which Yassin could be held responsible, the one that galvanized the Israeli cabinet to undertake a deep military offensive against Hamas, could have led to the deaths of hundreds.
		In the wake of the Yassin assassination, there have been increased stabbing, stoning, shelling, and shooting attacks, security forces are on high alert, and Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon — calling themselves the Martyr Yassin Brigades — have shelled IDF positions along the northern border.

		The release of Sheikh Yassin, on the eve of Israel's celebrations of the Jewish new year, came to defuse a ticking bomb that could explode at any minute in the coming days.
		Besides, there are indications that the release came in order to avoid further deterioration of relations between Jordan and Israel in light of the present stalemate in the peace talks between the PNA and Israel.
		The price was the release of Sheikh Yassin, whose arrest had been repeatedly recommended by senior Israeli security officers who feared that the likelihood of his death in prison would only trigger unnecessary angry reactions from Hamas, and cause additional suicide attacks on Israelis.
