Fatah-aligned Sami Al-Ghoul Brigades call for resistance
2010-04-17
[Ma'an] A small militant brigade aligned with the Fatah movement announced its committment to continued resistance in a statement made public on Friday.

The group, known as the Sami Al-Ghoul Brigades,

last claimed an attack on Israel one year ago, on Friday 17 April 2009. In a statement released at the time, which was reiterated almost word for word in the Friday statement, said the group was committed to resistance activities and called on all military wings of Palestinian factions to declare a state of high alert and be ready to defend the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem from colonizing settlers.

The latest statement, rather than rallying calls around the Al-Aqsa Mosque, called on all resistance brigades to stay committed to resistance and stay faithful to martyrs and detainees.

The statement also noted that they remain loyal to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and the caretaker Palestinian leadership.

The announcement comes amid efforts by the Gaza-based de facto government to limit projectile launches toward Israeli targets and the planting of improvised explosive devices along the Gaza no-go zone enforced by Israel, and used for regular patrols of the area.

In announcing a continued committment to resistance, the group appear to have refused the Hamas government program of quelling violent attacks in the short term.
