'''Ahmad Ismail Hassan Yassin''' (Arabic: احمد ياسين; June 28, 1929 – March 22, 2004) was an imam who founded and led the [[Terrorism|terrorist]] organization [[Hamas]], and gave terrorism a theological foundation and a religious stamp. He was called "Sheikh Yassin" because of his position as the leader of the Hamas movement. Eliminated by the IDF in a targeted counterattack during the second intifada.
He first joined the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] while in [[Egypt]].
As the leader of Hamas, Yassin led a strong line against Israel, calling for its complete destruction and its replacement by an [[Islam]]ic Palestinian state that would come in its place. Yassin called on the Palestinians to fight the Zionist enemy in all possible forms, to the last drop of their blood, according to the Koran's command that calls to kill and be killed, and issued fatwas permitting suicide attacks with the aim of removing the Jews from all areas of the Land of Israel "from the river to the sea."
He supported the kidnapping of soldiers, and in January 2004 he even gave the Islamic-law approval for carrying out suicide attacks by women.
"Sheikh Ahmed Yassin has been directly implicated in authorizing, directing, funding, and providing foot soldiers for Hamas terrorist operations."
