Looks great, Samir. Now for the final test. Hand me that hammer.
About a month ago, a mysterious explosion in a building in the southern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya left seven people dead, including a baby and a child, and dozens injured. A day after the blast, Hamas' Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades confirmed that the operatives who died in the explosion were making last-minute preparations for a 'special mission', a Hamas codename for a 'high-quality' attack.

According to the statement, the dead were operatives of a special Hamas unit. The organization promised that its people will 'continue following in the path of those killed.'
Let's hope so...
