Jihad leader rejects call to join forces of Palestinian Authority
 A leader of Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, Mohammed Al-Sheikh Khalil, said on Wednesday that the recent pullout of the Israeli military forces from Gaza Strip was fruit of the Palestinian resistance. In remarks to KUNA, he said his group "considers all of Palestine as an occupied territory that should be liberated and its destiny should not be subject to bargaining." He called on the Palestinians to be ready "for more sacrifices because other parts of Palestine have remained under occupation." Reacting to the Palestinian Authority's call on all the armed activists in the various factions to join the authority's security forces, he said, "We will remain against any bid to drop the arms as long as the occupation persists."
