Palestinian Islamic Jihad personnelThe terrorist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) assured that it has the capacity to launch more than a thousand rockets a day at Israel for months.During an interview with the Al Manar channel, organ of the Lebanese Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah, the leader of the JIP, Ziad al Nakhala stated that during the last escalation against Israel in Gaza “we operated with a small military capacity. I am not exaggerating when I say that we can launch more than a thousand rockets a day towards Israel for months. The resistance has the capacity to harm any target within the Israeli entity.”It has been widely reported that the JIP receives heavy funding and military training from Iran.Al Nakhala added that the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) “is an integral part of the Palestinian resistance plan and in the future there will be surprises on its territory: the attacks against Israel will take a new turn.”The head of Islamic Jihad said that US President Donald Trump’s peace plan was “deadborn,” echoing claims by the Palestinian Authority that it is boycotting the economic conference in Bahrain scheduled for June 25 and 26.“The Palestinian people are ready for a prolonged confrontation with the Israeli occupation. Not everything they expect within the framework of the ‘Deal of the Century’ will be carried out. The ‘Deal of the Century’ was stillborn and has no value as long as the Palestinians oppose it,” he noted.In recent weeks, the border with Gaza has experienced relative calm, while Israel and Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire that neither side has officially confirmed.However, al Nakhala threatened that “any aggression in Gaza will result in the launching of missiles at Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv” and added that “we do not fear the results.”Post navigation
