Hamas's military wing released a video on Friday in tribute to its rocket engineer who died on Sunday from wounds he is believed to have sustained whilst manufacturing a missile in the Gaza Strip.
The video claims that the engineer, Mohammad Walid Al-Koka, worked before his death to develop missiles for the terrorist organization that controls Gaza.
From the video
Hamas had announced that the 44-year-old Al-Koka and another operative were injured in a structure in the coastal Sudania region, which is in northern Gaza. However, a Palestinian source claimed that Al-Koka was a rocket engineer for the organization and that they presumed he was killed by an explosion during the manufacturing of a missile.
The video states that Al-Koka had been a member of the military wing since the Second Intifada. Hamas sources further claimed that Al-Koka took part in developing self-made antitank missiles as well as developing and improving mortars.
