Muhammad Hemada Walid al-Quqa

Muhammad Walid al-Quqa, the explosives chief of Hamas, reportedly blew himself up in what commonly is referred to as a “work accident.”

The Palestinian Ma’an News Agency reports:

A Hamas fighter succumbed on Sunday to wounds he sustained a day earlier in an “accidental explosion” in the northern Gaza Strip, the Ministry of Health said.

Gaza Ministry of Health spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra told the Palestinian Information Center that 37-year-old Muhammad Walid al-Quqa died in the hospital on Sunday morning following an “accidental” explosion in al-Sudaniyya in the northern Gaza Strip on Saturday evening.

The Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said in a statement that al-Quqa was killed during “preparations” without giving details.

However, the statement went on to add that al-Quqa had been involved in “jihadist activities, including manufacturing and assembling explosives.”
The Times of Israel added:
Hamas’s military wing, the Qassam Brigades, said in a statement posted to its official website that high-ranking field commander Muhammad Hemada Walid al-Quqa, 37, died Sunday morning. Other reports from Gaza said he was 44 years old….

According to Israel’s Channel 2 news, Quqa was the head of Hamas’s explosives unit and the Qassam Brigades said he had been involved in ” including manufacturing and assembling explosives.”

The Palestinian website al-Resalah, which is affiliated with Hamas, said the explosion that killed Quqa occurred in the Sudaniye area in northern Gaza.

The report quoted medical sources who said the Hamas commander had been brought to the hospital with his arms and legs blown off.

That’s the first thing that came to mind looking at that photo too. Though to be fair, napalm rather than drone to give Satan a head start.

Ex-Pres Obama would argue that this wasn’t terrorism, it was workplace related violence.

If you nailed him to the wall his name would be Art.

One cross eyed deformed goat.

I was thinking more along the lines of a hundred virgin girls, all thirteen years old, with their own cell phones, chattering and giggling to each other for eternity. They never sleep, and they never stop talking, and it is impossible to get away from them.

I would much prefer the goat.
