	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Region \| Obituary: Sheikh Ahmed Yassin: 1936-2004
		Ahmed Ismael Yassin was born in 1938 in the now non- existent hamlet of Al-Joura, near the present-day Israeli town of Ashkelon -- or Askalan in Arabic.
		Needless to say, his bitterness and sense of indignation were further enhanced by the abject poverty and rampant misery prevalent in the refugee camps of Gaza where he and his family lived during his teenage years.
		In 1997, Yassin was freed from prison after the late King Hussein of Jordan insisted that the Israeli government of Benyamin Netanyahu release him in exchange for the release from Jordanian custody of two Mossad agents who carried out an unsuccessful assassination attempt on Khaled Meshaal, the head of the Hamas contingency in Amman.

		Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who was killed by an Israeli air strike yesterday, probably aged 67, was a handicapped Palestinian refugee who founded Hamas, the Islamic movement whose combination of political violence, community services, uncompromising rhetoric and shrewd politics established it as the principal opposition group to the PLO, as well as the scourge of Israel.
		Ahmed Yassin was born in 1936 in the village of Joura, in the province of Gaza, then under the rule of the British Mandate in Palestine.
		Yassin was a student at a school where a number of the teachers were members of the Muslim Brotherhood, an Egyptian organisation that preached the religious revival of Islamic society.

		Yassin was born into a relatively well-to-do, middleclass farming family from the village of Tor, in southern Palestine.
		For the foreseeable future, Yassin believed, the struggle was cultural, moral and educational; it was about combating secularism and the reform and re-Islamicisation of Palestinian society - a preparation for jihad, rather than jihad itself.
		Yassin is survived by his wife Halima and their 11 children.

		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.

		Yassin has always maintained that the lands of Palestine -- Israel and the Palestinian territories -- are waqf lands (Islamic property), which belong to all Muslims around the world, and so Muslims should never accept anything less than an Islamic state on those lands.
		Yassin also opposed the Palestinian Authority's announcement that it would agree to a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces from certain areas in the Gaza Strip, and would assume control of security there.
