[Elder of Ziyon] Even a heart attack can make a Hamas member a "martyr"

From the Qassam Brigades (Hamas) website:

Military Communiqué

Al Qassam Brigades mourns the death of Mohammed Ishtaiwi

As Al Aqsa Intifada against the occupation assault on the Gaza Strip continues, Ezzeddeen Al-Qassam Brigades has its best men to be in the playground of death to defend their people from any attack by the enemy ... Today, Al-Qassam Brigades mourn the death of the mujahed:

Mohammed Faisal Ishtaiwi [23 years old]

Gaza City – Gaza Strip

The mujahid passed away After heart attack on Friday 31/05/2013. He was martyred after a long bright path of jihad, hard work, struggle and sacrifice.

I remember the good old days where you had to be killed by an infidel to become a martyr. Now you can earn the 72 virgins after merely dying of a heart attack! Perhaps this is a special Quranic dispensation for Hamas members.

(Of course, it seems more likely that this was a work accident, or Hamas had a reason to kill this guy but to keep it quiet. Heart attacks in 23-year olds aren't too common.)
