On November 12, 2006, an Islamist website posted a three-minute video featuring the last message of Mirfat Amin Mas'ud, a 19-year-old woman who carried out a suicide bombing at an IDF checkpoint in the Gaza Strip on November 6, 2006.
In the video, Mirfat Amin stands in front of a black Islamic Jihad banner holding a rifle. On the table in front of her are a Koran, a pistol, and what appears to be a hand grenade. The sounds of children playing are heard clearly in the background.
After asking her parents to forgive her for undertaking martyrdom, Mirfat Amin addresses her extended family, saying: "My desire [to serve] Allah and His Messenger and to spill my blood for the sake of this homeland is much greater than my love for you." Amin also calls upon the mujahideen throughout the world "from Iraq to Chechnya and from Palestine to the Philippines" to "persist in the way of resistance." She asks her family to distribute sweets upon hearing the news of her death, and to adhere to the Koran and the Sunna.
The video ends with Mirfat Amin posing for the camera with a rifle in one hand and a Koran in the other.
