The Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terrorist group released footage on Thursday purporting to show a drone controlled by its operatives dropping makeshift incendiary bombs on an Israel Defense Forces tank stationed on the border with Israel.
The footage, which the group released via its social media channels, is filmed from a camera mounted to the drone as well as a long-range lens on the ground in Gazoo filming the tank.
As small kabooms can be seen on and next to the tank, an Arabic caption appears declaring: "Your defenses are nothing to us."
The tank appears unscathed by the relatively small blasts.
The army declined to comment on the video.
The incident apparently occurred during the last flare-up in fighting between Israel and the Gazoo terror groups.
Last month, Israel announced that it had foiled an attempt to smuggle 172 mailed packages containing military equipment into the Gazoo Strip via the Erez Crossing from Israel. The equipment reportedly included drones, digital microscopes, weapons sights, flashlights and holsters for weapons, field phones, hidden cameras, communications equipment, diving lights and military boots.
Also last month, a Paleostinian Islamic Jihad cell attempted to down an Israeli military helicopter.
Just before the Islamic Jihad operatives could launch a shoulder-mounted missile at the chopper, which was operating near Gazoo City in the northern Strip, they were spotted by an Israeli jet and destroyed from the air, according to a report in the Jerusalem-based Paleostinian newspaper al-Quds, citing unnamed officials from Gazoo-based terror groups as its sources.
The Iran-backed Islamic Jihad later confirmed that it attempted to carry out the attack, identifying one of the operatives who was killed as he aimed the missile at the helicopter as Bilal al-Bina, a senior officer in the group’s air defense unit.
That reported incident took place during a two-day escalation in Gazoo that saw terror groups in the Strip fire nearly 700 rockets and missiles, mostly aiming for Israeli population centers. Four Israelis were killed in the barrages.
In response, the IDF carried out some 350
s on Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, and Islamic Jihad targets in the Paleostinian territory. Twenty-five Paleostinians were reported killed, many of them acknowledged members of terror groups.
