On 22 March 2004, the Palestinian leader and one of the founders of the Islamic Radiance Movement (Hamas), Ahmed Yassin, 67,[a] was assassinated in Gaza City. Sheikh Ahmed Yassin - who used a wheelchair due to being quadriplegic since his adolescence - was returning from performing the Fajr prayer,[1] and his companions were also killed immediately.[2] His assassination caused a state of anger and Palestinian factions vowed revenge, with Hamas saying that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon "opened the gates of hell." Shortly after the attack, Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi took over the leadership of the movement in the Gaza Strip.[3]
Yassin survived an attempt on his life on 6 September 2003.[4] According to Israeli radio, Sharon personally supervised the attack on Yassin.[5]
