The Yasin (Arabic: ياسين), also known as Yassin,[2] or Al-Yassin,[3] is an anti-tank weapon derived from the RPG-7 produced by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, and first deployed in 2004.

[4] It was named after Hamas' spiritual leader, Sheikh Ahmed Yasin, killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on March 22, 2004.

[2] Primarily used by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades,[5] it has also been deployed by other Hamas units in Gaza, including the Executive Force,[6] and Naval Police.

[2] Although intended as an anti-tank weapon, the first version of the Yasin was chiefly operated against soft-skin vehicles and personnel.

Unveiled on August 30, 2004,[1] the Yasin was reportedly developed by Hamas engineers from the Research and Industry Unit,[9] directed by Adnan al-Ghoul, killed in Gaza by the IDF on October 22, 2004.
