| Islamic Jihad: Israel trying to drag us into war |
| 2010-01-09 |
| [Ma'an] Islamic Jihad's Al-Quds Brigades affirmed resistance factions' readiness to confront any attack on Gaza, spokesman Abu Ahmad announced Friday. He told Ma'an by phone that "the latest Israeli military escalation on Gaza comes within ongoing attempts by the occupation to provoke the resistance by dragging it into a military confrontation." The comments came after a sequence of 14 mortar shells were reported fired at Israeli targets by the Popular Resistance Committees' militant wing, which were followed Friday morning by a series of four airstrikes all across the Gaza Strip. On Friday afternoon the PRC issued a call for "retaliation" for the airstrikes. Later Friday the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine's military wing said it launched four mortars at Israeli targets. The recent airstrikes and a series of limited incursions were what Abu Ahmad called Israeli aims to taunt the resistance in Gaza. The spokesman also cited targeted assassinations of resistance leaders as a method to antagonize factions. "They can't stop the projectiles of the resistance," Abu Ahmad said, dismissing recent reports that Israel is completing work on an anti-rocket system. The resistance is developing its expertise, he said. "The occupation's attempts will fail in weakening the spirit of resistance, and that could change the equation of the circumstances in the region." |
