Al-Qassam Brigades, also known as the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades (EQB; Arabic: كتائب الشهيد عز الدين القسام, romanized: Katāʾib al-Shahīd ʿIzz al-Dīn al-Qassām, lit. 'Battalions of martyr Izz ad-Din al-Qassam'), are the military wing of the Sunni Islamist Palestinian nationalist organization, Hamas. Led by Mohammed Deif until his death on 13 July 2024, Al-Qassam Brigades are the largest and best-equipped militant organization operating within the Gaza Strip in recent years.

Created in mid-1991, they were at the time concerned with blocking the Oslo Accords negotiations. From 1994 to 2000, Al-Qassam Brigades have claimed responsibility for carrying out a number of attacks against Israelis.

Abdul Ali Mazari (Pashto: عبدالعلي مزاري, Dari:: عبدالعلی مزاری, 27 May 1946 – 13 March 1995), also known by his honorific title, Ustad, was an Afghan politician and leader of Hezbe Wahdat during and following the Soviet–Afghan War, who advocated for a federal system of governance in Afghanistan. Mazari envisioned that this would end the political and ethnic division in Afghanistan by guaranteeing rights to every ethnic group. He was allegedly captured and assassinated by the Taliban during negotiations in 1995 amid the Second Afghan Civil War.

In 2016, he was posthumously given the title "Martyr for National Unity of Afghanistan" and had a statue erected in his honor by the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Shortly after reclaiming power, the Taliban demolished the statue.
