		After his arrest, leadership of the movement was diffused among nearly a dozen figures Although some of Yassin's authority passed to Abdulaziz Rantisi in Gaza, most of the group's collective leadership lived outside of the territories.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Sheikh Ahmed Yassin
		When the half-blind, almost wholly paralysed Sheikh Ahmed Yassin arrived in Gaza in October 1997 after his release from an Israeli jail in exchange for Mossad agents caught trying to assassinate a colleague in Jordan, one Arab commentator likened him to Nelson Mandela.
		It brought Yassin back into prison, this time with a life sentence for his alleged involvement in the abduction and murder of an Israeli soldier.
		Whether he had really willed it or not, the suicide bomber became the ultimate expression of Islamist violence, terrifying the Israelis, undermining Arafat, and, in symbiotic connivance with their extremist counterparts on the other side, pushing the whole Arab-Israeli struggle towards the dark extremities of racist fanaticism from which Mandela had rescued South Africa.

		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.
