Islamic Jihad Vows to Keep up Resistance as Israeli Occupation Arrests Sheikh Khader Adnan
2023-02-06
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] 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...
Paleostinian resistance movement stressed on Sunday that arrests which targeted one of its senior members Sheikh Khader Adnan and other Paleostinians is a desperate attempt aimed at undermining the firm will of the Paleostinian people.

In overnight raids, Israeli forces detained Khader Adnan in his hometown village of Arrabeh, southwest of Jenin, Khaled Ghawadreh in the nearby village of Bir al-Basha, Ibrahim Zubeidi in al-Jalazoun refugee camp, north of Ramalllah and other four Paleostinians, said the Paleostinian Prisoner’s Media Office, a group that represents Paleostinian prisoners in Israeli prisons.

Arresting Adnan, Ghawadreh and other "reflects the extent of confusion and pressure practiced on the Fascist Israeli government due to the rise of acts of resistance across the occupied West Bank," the Islamic Jihad statement read.

The Paleostinian group vowed, meanwhile, to keep up the resistance against the Israeli occupation.

"Despite the brutal raids, the occupation won’t be able to put out the spark of the resistance," the statement added.

Adnan, 44, has been arrested several times in recent years and served several prison sentences in connection with his work with the Islamic Jihad. He has also gone on hunger strike several times over his punitive detention.
The Times of Israel adds:
During an IDF raid in the nearby village of Bir al-Basha, Palestinians opened fire at forces from a passing vehicle, the military said, adding that the soldiers returned fire at the car.

No Israeli soldiers were hurt during the overnight raids.

Also overnight, Israeli authorities handed over the body of a teenager killed by police in the Shuafat refugee camp last month. On January 25, Salah Muhammad Ali, 17, was shot while aiming a fake gun at officers.
There is a lesson here — something about not taking a toy gun to a real gunfight, perhaps...
