Yasin
The Yasin (Arabic: ياسين ) anti-tank rocket launcher is a weapon developed by Hamas' Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, named after the group's spiritual leader, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, who was assassinated by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) on March 22, 2004. Apparently first used during the battle of Jabalya in October 2004, the Yasin was reportedly developed by Hamas' engineers under the direction of Adnan al-Ghoul, assassinated in Gaza by the Israeli military on October 22, 2004.
