الشهيد القسامي / محمد منير مصطفى عاشور
المجاهد الصنديد الذي لا يخشى الموت
القسام – خاص :
هي حكاية العطاء الذي لا يتوقف، وهي سلسلة الانتماء الحقيقي للإسلام قولا وفعلا، وهي بطولات جبلت بالتضحيات، وسيرة الصادقين الثابتين في زمن كثر فيه المنهزمين.
ولأنهم الشهداء .. من عملوا فسبقوا، وصمتوا فتكلم فعلهم، واجتهدوا فجدوا وأرعبوا عدوهم، من صدقوا الله فصدقهم، من عاشوا بجسدهم بين الأحياء لكن أرواحهم تسكن حيث البقاء، لأنهم من رسموا بتضحياتهم طريق التضحية والفداء، من كتبوا بدمائهم حكاية عشق أبدي، لتراب فلسطيني سرمدي، بدم قسامي أبي، على طريق وطن اقتربت حريته بتضحيات السابقين، وثبات القساميون.

لم يستطع محمد أن يكمل دراسته الجامعية لأنه كان يعمل في القوة التنفيذية التابعة لوزارة الداخلية فلم يستطع التفرغ لدراسته، تم نقله للعمل في جهاز هندسة المتفجرات وكان يؤدي عمله على أكمل وجه وكان ملتزماً فيه ولم يكن يخبر والديه أنه يعمل في جهاز الهندسة إلا بعد مرور عام على عمله فيه خوفاً من إغضاب أمه.

موعد مع الشهادة
كان شهيدنا يحرص على المشاركة في العمليات الخاصة الجهادية لحبه الشديد لمقاتلة أعداء الله ولحبه الشديد للشهادة، فكان دائماً تواق ومشتاق وطالباً لها وأن يثخن في العدو فقد آثر على عدم ترك رباطه في المناطق الشرقية في حرب العصف المأكول كي يتمكن من تنفيذ أكبر عدد من المهام وأن يثخن في العدو قدر استطاعته وخوفاً على إخوانه من القدوم على المكان فكان مصراً أن يبقى أكثر في المكان حتى استشهد فكانت له أمنيته المحققة.
ففي حرب العصف المأكول كان شهيدنا برفقة الشهيد رائد أبو هاني في مهمة شرق رفح وهي إطلاق قائف 107 على موقع إسناد صوفا العسكري التابع لقوات الاحتلال وقاموا بعدة مهام من المربض الذي كلفوا فيه وبعد الإيعاز لهم من مكان قريب بتذخير المربض لعملية أخرى ترجل شهيدنا ليذهب لتذخيره ولكن أعداء الله باغتوه بصاروخ من طائرة إستطلاع ليستشهد على إثره وليرتقي إلى ربه شهيداً مرابطاً مقاوما بتاريخ 11/7/2014م.
وإنه لجهادٌ جهاد، نصرٌ أو استشهاد..

IZZ AL-DIN AL-QASSAM BRIGADES WEBSITE, RAED ABU HANI WEBPAGE
(English Translation)
On July 11, 2014, Shahedna was assigned to the east of the city of Rafah to fire several 107 shells directed at the site of the military wing of the Israeli occupation forces. He and his companion Muhammad Munir Ashour went to the marsh and fired several shells at the site.

On July 11, 2014, east of Rafah, Mohammed Mounir Ashour and Raed Abu Hani, two Qassamis, were on a military mission. They were firing 107 mortars at Israeli forces from a marsh. Ashour was instructed by his command to return to the marsh and begin a second round of launches. When he went to get more munitions, he was targeted by an Israeli aircraft, it launched a missile and Ashour was killed immediately.
Raed Abu Hani went to check the condition of his fellow Qassami, Ashour, and when he did, he was targeted and killed by a missile fired by an Israeli aircraft.
ASHOUR’S DUAL IDENTITY
MEIR AMIT INTELLIGENCE AND TERRORISM INFORMATION CENTER
Dual Identity
The names that we examined included those of six terrorist operatives with a dual identity, i.e., those serving concurrently in terrorist organizations and in the Palestinian security forces in the Gaza Strip. All six who were identified were operatives in Hamas’s Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Three of them also served in the national security forces of the Palestinian Interior Ministry in the Gaza Strip and three of them served in the Palestinian police. After their deaths, dual death notices were published by the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades and by the police, Interior Ministry and security forces.
Dual identity of terrorist operatives, especially in Hamas, is widespread and is well known to us from Operation Cast Lead and Operation Pillar of Defense. Dual identity allows Hamas to employ many military operatives in the security forces, give their activity governmental legitimacy, and pay them salaries intended for members of the security forces in the Gaza Strip.

PATENTLY FALSE NARRATIVE, ORIGINAL HUMANIZE PALESTINE WEBSITE
ORIGINAL HUMANIZE PALESTINE WEBSITE
“Mohammed Mounir Ashour, 25 years old, was killed on July 11, 2014 in a bombing on the al-Ghanam family home in Rafah.“
THE FACTS
IZZ AL-DIN AL-QASSAM BRIGADES WEBSITE
MOHAMMED MOUNIR ASHOUR WEBPAGE
… our martyr was accompanied by the martyr Raed Abu Hani on the mission east of Rafah, … the launch of the 107th … they carried out several tasks from the place where they were assigned … our martyr stepped off to go to his ammunition ,… he was killed by a missile from a reconnaissance plane ….
RAED ABU HANI WEBPAGE
On 11 July 2014, … a mission east of Rafah city to fire several missiles 107 … so he and his fellow martyr Mohammed Munir Ashour went to Al-Marbat and fired several shells at the site, and when his comrade, martyr Mohammed Munir Ashour, returned … in preparation for a second rocket fire, and the israeli planes surprised him with their missiles, and he rose a martyr immediately, which prompted our martyr after a few minutes to go to inspect the conditions of his brother Mohammed, he was surprised by the reconnaissance planes also with a missile that led to his martyrdom

COMMENT
On July 11, 2014, east of Rafah city, Ashour and Hani fired 107 mm mortar rounds at IDF positions. When Ashour returned from retrieving additional ammunition for another round of firing, he was targeted and killed by an IDF missile. When Hani went to check on the condition of his fellow al-Qassami, he too was targeted and killed by an IDF missile.
Mohammed Mounir Ashour was not killed in a bombing of the al-Ghanam home in Rafah. This is a false statement and it further conceals the true identity of Ashour, an Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades terrorist operative.
WEBSITE’S FALSE NARRATIVES CREATE EXAGGERATED UNTRUTHFUL CIVILIAN CASUALTY FIGURES
The original Humanize Palestine website was a memorial for martyred Palestinian terrorists. The website created false narratives for these individuals by utilizing texts and photographs to conceal their terror organization affiliations. This allowed the website to represent these individuals as either civilian casualties of war or as innocent Palestinian protesters, all victims of the ‘Israeli occupation’.
Like Hamas, the original Humanize Palestine website created false narratives to support the deception that many more civilians were killed by the Israeli security apparatus than terror combatants. As stated above, this was accomplished by falsely representing martyred combatants and street terrorists as civilian casualties of war or innocent protesters. However, the original Humanize Palestine website enhanced this deception by utilizing an additional more subtle technique. Their website untruthfully exaggerated the number of incidents involving the deaths of martyred Palestinian terrorists who were falsely represented as civilian casualties of war. This created the perception that many more Palestinian civilians were killed than actually were. The Mohammed Mounir Ashour narrative is an example of this deception.
Mohammed Mounir Ashour was killed together with Ra’ed Hani Abu Hani, in the same incident. However, the reader would never know this by reading the narratives appearing on the original Humanize Palestine website, Ashour and Hani webpages.
Ra’ed Hani Abu Hani is another al-Quds Brigades terror operative combatant appearing on this and on the original Humanize Palestine website:
THE DECEPTION
ORIGINAL HUMANIZE PALESTINE WEBSITE, HANI NARRATIVE
“Ra’ed Hani Abu Hani, 31 years old, was killed on July 11, 2014 in a bombing in Rafah.”
ORIGINAL HUMANIZE PALESTINE WEBSITE, ASHOUR NARRATIVE
“Mohammed Mounir Ashour, 25 years old, was killed on July 11, 2014 in a bombing on the al-Ghanam family home in Rafah.”
Two different narratives falsely created the deception that they were both killed in two unrelated incidents. The truth is found on the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades website:
THE TRUTH
(RA’ED ABU HANI WEBPAGE)
“On 11 July 2014 … assigned to a mission east of Rafah city to fire several missiles 107 … so he [Hani] and his fellow martyr Mohammed Munir Ashour … fired several shells …, and when his comrade, martyr Mohammed Munir Ashour, returned … in preparation for a second rocket fire, and the israeli planes surprised him with their missiles, and he rose a martyr immediately, which prompted our martyr [Hani] after a few minutes to go to inspect the conditions of his brother Mohammed, he was surprised by the reconnaissance planes also with a missile that led to his martyrdom ….”
(MOHAMMED MOUNIR ASHOUR WEBPAGE)
” … our martyr was accompanied by the martyr Raed Abu Hani on the mission east of Rafah, which is the launch of the 107th … and they carried out several tasks from the place where they were assigned and … our martyr stepped off to go to his ammunition, but On 11 July 2014, he was killed by a missile from a reconnaissance plane ….”
The original Humanize Palestine website, falsely created a narrative that Ashour and Hani had died in two separate incidents. But they did not, they were killed in the same incident, two Qassamis, Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades terror operatives, falsely represented by the original Humanize Palestine website as civilian casualties of war.
Mohammed Munir Ashour and Raed Abu Hani participated together in the same terror mission. The two Qassamis are not only united in death while carrying out that mission, they continue to be united in life. A Qatari charity is rewarding both families for their service in the Palestinian “resistance”, for sacrificing their lives serving in the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas:
QATARI COVERT FUNDING OF GAZA TERROR ORGANIZATIONS
THE HEARING AND SIGHT FOUNDATION FOR DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY REHABILITATION
مؤسسة السمع والبصر للتنمية والتأهيل المجتمعي
The Hearing and Sight Foundation for Development and Community Rehabilitation is a Qatari NGO charity. It states that its charitable projects in Gaza support the needy, the poor, widows and orphans, especially the parents of cochlear-planted children, many of whom can not afford rehabilitation fees, transportation and other expenses. This is not completely true and misrepresents what the charity presently does in Gaza.
The charity covertly supports and rewards the families of martyred Palestinian terror operatives, affiliates and combatants such as Mohammed Munir Ashour. By falsely claiming that the charity supports the needy, poor, widows and orphans, the parents of cochlear-planted children, they are concealing their true mission. Receiving aid is not dependent on any of the above. Being needy and poor is not a requirement. The predicate for receiving aid is the family’s affiliation with a Gaza terror organization. The charity supports and rewards the children, widows and orphans of dead Palestinian terror operatives.
Islamic law does not allow adoption, taking someone else’s child as your own. The closest thing to adoption that is is allowed is legal foster care known as “kafala” (كَفَالَة). Kafala is the Islamic legal institution analogous to guardianship and it is used instead of adoption. The Qatari charity is the legal guardian of the 239 children who appeared on their website’s kafala photo gallery, the sons and daughters of martyred Gaza terror operatives. The photo gallery consisted of twenty pages, twelve children per page, eleven on Page 20.
The charity’s website and kafala photo gallery were removed from the internet. Before this happened, most of the website and the twenty pages of photographs were archived. Below, a partial screen grab of one of the archived kafala pages:
The photograph below, the daughter of Mohammed Munir Ashour appeared on Page 18 of the charity’s kafala photo gallery, http://www.alsam3.net/kafala/page/18/:

CREATING FALSE NARRATIVES WITH PHOTOGRAPHS
The original Humanize Palestine website routinely did this, the photographs of the Palestinian ‘martyrs’ on their website concealed their terror organization affiliation. Mohammed Mounir Ashour was an example of this.
Below, two pictures of Ashour, side by side, for comparison:
The photograph of Ashour on the left is how Ashour is portrayed on the original Humanize Palestine website, his terror organization affiliation concealed, 25 years old, killed on July 11, 2014 in a bombing on the al-Ghanam family home in Rafah.
The photograph on the right is who Ashour truthfully was, a terror operative combatant. This is the Ashour who appears on the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades website, the Ashour who participated in many military and jihadist operations, … specialization of artillery, he participated in the firing of 107 missiles and many rocket rounds … and participated in the firing of mortar shells … and also participated in many special operations, including Preparation, processing and rocket installation.
Below, two more photographs of Ashour, side by side for comparison:
The photograph of Ashour on the left is how Ashour is portrayed on the original Humanize Palestine website, his terror organization affiliation concealed, 25 years old, killed in Rafah by an Israeli bombing.
The photograph on the right is who Ashour truthfully was, a terror operative combatant. This is Ashour, the Qassami who appears on the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades website, the Ashour who began his career in the Al-Qassam Brigades as a mujahedeen soldier and then became an official of one of the mujahedeen groups and then moved to the artillery major … and for his keenness to In many missions, our martyr joined the elite company of the Western Battalion, along with his work in the artillery unit, and … was not afraid to die and was always close to God in his jihadi work.
Below, the third composite photograph of Ashour consisting of two pictures side by side for comparison purposes:
The photograph of Ashour on the left is how Ashour is portrayed on the original Humanize Palestine website, wearing a Palestinian police uniform, the same photo that appears in Meir Amit’s research paper entitled “Dual Identity”, seen above.
“Dual Identity”, as defined by the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, is a term that applies to those serving concurrently in terrorist organizations and in the Palestinian security forces in the Gaza Strip. Dual identity allows Hamas to employ many military operatives in the security forces, give their activity governmental legitimacy, and pay them salaries intended for members of the security forces in the Gaza Strip.
Mohammed Mounir Ashour was given a “Dual Identity” by Hamas to conceal his membership in the al-Qassam Brigades. The two photographs above document Ashour’s “Dual Identity”. The original Humanize Palestine website did the same thing, conceal Ashour’s identity as an al-Qassam Brigades terror operative.
The photograph on the right is the Ashour who served in the terrorist organization, the policeman on the left and the terror operative on the right, DUAL IDENTITY.
HAMAS / IZZ AL-DIN AL-QASSAM BRIGADES FUNDRAISING SCHEME
Prior to August 2020, the Hamas and Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades websites had a green banner at the top of their home page. This is how the home page of Hamas’ TV station, al-Aqsa TV, appeared on March 16, 2020:
Note the green banner at the top of the page:
The green banner contained an embedded URL that linked to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades website. Clicking on the green banner would open this webpage:
This was a fund raising scheme utilizing cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, to underwrite its terrorism (“resistance”). Note that the solicitation is in English. This would indicate that the fund raising scheme not only targeted Arabic speaking countries but English speaking western countries as well, such as the U.S.
In August 2020, the U.S. government seized the website, funds and assets:
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SEIZURE
The original Humanize Palestine website memorialized al-Qassam Brigades terror operatives, Mohammed Mounir Ashour is one example. In their own words, they honored the deceased terror operatives as martyrs by bringing them back to life through their pictures, stories, art, and poetry.
Now the victims of these terror operatives have been honored. The U.S. Department of Justice has seized al-Qassam Brigades assets, funds and websites, used to finance their terror campaigns. The monies will be directed to the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund.
