Yahya Abd-al-Latif Ayyash (Arabic: يحيى عياش) (22 February 1966 – 5 January 1996) was the chief bombmaker of Hamas and the leader of the West Bank battalion of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. In that capacity, he earned the nickname the Engineer (Arabic: المهندس, transliterated al-Muhandis). He was assassinated by Shin Bet on 5 January 1996.
He is a celebrated hero to Palestinians who have named streets and other locales in his honor.
Ayyash was born in Rafat on 22 February 1966, the eldest of three brothers. Al Qassam's website, however, states his birth date as 3 March 1966. As a child, he was very pious, receiving an award from the Islamic Trust for his talent in memorizing the Quran. While a boy, Ayyash showed a talent for electrical and mechanical work—repairing radios, television sets, and the like. After graduating from high school in 1985, he entered Birzeit University in 1987. He received a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering in 1991.
Described as "well educated, ambitious, and soft-spoken," Ayyash hailed from a relatively affluent family. Married, with one child, Ayyash had planned to study for a master's degree in Jordan, but was denied permission to do so by Israeli authorities. It was around this time he joined Hamas.
The West Bank (Arabic: الضفة الغربية aḍ-Ḍiffah l-Ġarbiyyah; Hebrew: הגדה המערבית, HaGadah HaMa'aravit) or Cisjordan is a landlocked territory near the Mediterranean coast of Western Asia, forming the bulk of the Palestinian territories and the State of Palestine. The West Bank shares boundaries (demarcated by the Jordanian-Israeli armistice of 1949) to the west, north, and south with the state of Israel, and to the east, across the Jordan River, with Jordan. The West Bank also contains a significant section of the western Dead Sea shore.
The West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has a land area of 5,640 km2 plus a water area of 220 km2, consisting of the northwest quarter of the Dead Sea. It has an estimated population of 2,676,740 (July 2013). More than 80%, about 2,800,000, are Palestinian Arabs, and approximately 500,000 are Jewish Israelis living in the West Bank, including about 192,000 in East Jerusalem, in Israeli settlements, built on the 43% of the West Bank which Israel has allocated to local settler councils. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this. The International Court of Justice advisory ruling (2004) concluded that events that came after the 1967 occupation of the West Bank by Israel, including the Jerusalem Law, Israel's peace treaty with Jordan and the Oslo Accords, did not change the status of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) as occupied territory with Israel as the occupying power.

In 1994, an American Jew that had settled in Occupied Palestine shot dead 29 Palestinian worshipers in a massacre inside a Mosque in the city of Hebron. Yahya Ayyash, aka "The engineer" decided to make Israel pay for its actions by making bombs that were later used in several operations that killed hundreds of Israelis in retaliation of its routinely killing of Palestinians in general and the latest massacre in particular. Ayyash taught Israel a hard lesson by killing/injuring hundreds of their land thievings citizens that were all involved in occupying Palestine by serving in the Zionist terrorist organization [IDF] and therefor everyone were a legitimate target. After making Israel a living hell for its illegal residents, Ayyash was assassinated 05/01-1996 by the Shin bet. Interesting...

(17 Nov 2016) LEAD IN: The Houthi rebels and the Saudi-led coalition are accusing each other of holding aid ships in Yemen. Hodeidah port is still crippled from airstrikes to cranes which are used to unload goods from ships. STORY-LINE: Hodeidah port is under Houthi control. And the rebels are accused of holding aid ships here by the pro-government Saudi coalition.

"We welcome all aid ships, and give them priority in harbouring and in unloading." The Houthis' counter claim is that the Saudi ...
