| DFLP: We're ready to counter any new Israeli attack |
| 2009-11-15 |
| [Ma'an] The National Resistance Brigades, the armed wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), rebuffed recent Israeli threats for a new war on Gaza, calling them an expression of Israel's failure to halt projectile fire. Brigades spokesman Abu Saleem said in a statement that militants would continue firing projectiles at Israeli targets as long as Israel maintains its siege on Gaza and its attacks on the Palestinians. "No Israeli war will meet its objective" of stopping the projectiles, he said. Abu Saleem called the recent comments by Israeli military Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi an expression of Israel's "failure of achieving the goal it set out in the first Gaza war," which at one point was to stop the flow of projectiles over the border wall. The comments from Israeli military personnel and militant leaders came as both sides are being urged to investigate their actions and alleged war crimes committed during last winter's war, which killed more than 1,400 Palestinians. "The Resistance Brigades are fully prepared to defend Palestinians if Israel decides to carry out its threats," he said, urging fighters to take the Israeli threats seriously. "We must respond in a unified way to these Israeli threats... we must face the Israeli threat together and end the internal division weakening us." |
