Islamic Jihad bigwig Khalid al-Batsh warned Israel against attacks against Gaza, and said that Paleo jihadis will use any possible means to resist. Al-Batsh said, "Palestinians, as a nation under occupation, know how to defend their rights if the Zionist regime's forces wage an attack on Gaza."
"Accordingly, we will not remain silent in confronting the military threats posed by Israel and will use all the possible means to defend ourselves, including resort to the weapon of resistance," he added.
At the same time, al-Batsh dismissed Israel's military capability, saying that Israel is too feeble to wage a new war on Gaza.
"The regime is facing a serious challenge with Iran, the Lebanese Hezbollah and Syria. In addition, the Zionist regime is pinned down by lots of internal problems," he noted.
