Islamic Jihad calls on West Bank resistance to join operation against Israel
The Islamic Jihad resistance movement says the ongoing operation against Israel is no longer limited to the Gaza Strip and other fronts, including the resistance groups in the occupied West Bank, may soon join the large-scale battle.
In an audio speech on Wednesday, a spokesman for the al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad resistance movement, Abu Hamza, said Operation al-Aqsa Storm may soon expand to include the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948, Lebanon's al-Mayadeen news channel reported.
He added that the scope of fire is expanding, stressing that the events in south Lebanon were merely a small example of what is awaiting the enemy.
He expressed confidence that victory is just around the corner.
The military spokesperson addressed resistance fighters in the West Bank, calling on the Jenin and Lion's Den brigades, as well as all the Palestinians there to engage in confrontations with the Israeli occupation.
"We have come prepared for you outside Palestine just as we were inside Palestine, and the events that unfolded in the Gaza Envelope shall be mirrored in other battlegrounds," he further said.
Pointing to Israel's brutal attacks on the Gaza Strip, he emphasized that the enemy was not able to face the resistance, so it vented its anger on women and children.
On Saturday, Hamas launched the largest military operation against the occupying entity in decades, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm.
The resistance movement said that its operation came in response to Israel’s violations at al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East al-Quds and growing settler violence.
Israeli media outlets report that more than 1,300 settlers and troops have been killed, while the number of those injured exceeds 3,300.
Following Hamas’ surprise attack, Israel launched deadly strikes on the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Israeli officials also ordered a total blockade of the already besieged Gaza to compensate for heavy losses suffered during Operation al-Aqsa Storm.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, the death toll from Israeli airstrikes has reached 1,200, including scores of children. The attacks have left nearly 5,600 injured.
