This 3.5-inch embroidered patch features a black and white version of the emblem associated with the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas. The circular design includes a masked fighter holding a rifle beneath the Dome of the Rock, with a flag element and Arabic script surrounding the outer ring.
The monochrome thread scheme gives this version a more subdued, tactical-style appearance compared to the full-color variants, while still preserving the recognizable layout of the original insignia. A light satin border frames the patch and provides clean contrast against the black background.

Historical Context
The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades emerged in the early 1990s as the military wing of Hamas, during the period following the First Intifada. The organization is named after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, a Syrian-born preacher and militant active in British Mandate Palestine during the 1930s. After his death in 1935, al-Qassam became an important symbolic figure in Palestinian resistance history.
Based primarily in the Gaza Strip, the Brigades developed separately from Hamas’s political and social-service structures and became known for armed activity against Israel. Over time, the group has been associated with guerrilla operations, rocket development, tunnel networks, and repeated involvement in Gaza-based conflicts. Its public imagery commonly blends religious landmarks, armed figures, Arabic script, and nationalist symbolism.
The emblem on this patch reflects that visual tradition: the Dome of the Rock represents Jerusalem and Islamic religious symbolism, while the masked fighter and rifle emphasize the group’s military identity. The surrounding Arabic text identifies the organization and reinforces the insignia’s connection to Hamas’s armed wing.
