Top Islamic Jihadis go into hiding
 Islamic Jihad in Gaza ordered its leaders to go into hiding for at least the next few days, fearing IDF reprisals. This measure reinforces the IDF estimate that Islamic Jihad was behind Wednesday's bus bombing in Jerusalem. While they did not claim responsibility for the bombing, an Islamic Jihad spokesman praised the attack and said it was a "natural response to the enemy's crimes." Israeli officials have indicated a firm yet measured response to the recent terror wave, with the aim of avoiding escalation. The IDF resumed strikes across the Gaza Strip early Thursday. Paleo sources reported that two training camps near Gaza City and a smuggling tunnel near the Rafah border were targeted. The IDF confirmed the attacks and said the intended targets were accurately hit. Posted by: ryuge 2011-03-24 |
