“Before going out for the holy revenge operations, my mother and I sat and I put my head on her feet and her pure hand began to caress my hair

and I still remember this moment which I long for and wish for after all these years”

Commander Hassan Salameh on his last meeting with his mother before leaving for the West Bank to carry out his operations in response to the assassination of Engineer Yahya Ayyash in 1996

Hassan Salama's mother passed away last year during the month of Ramadan. She had been waiting for Hassan to be released from the occupation's prisons for more than 25 years.
