From Abu al-Ata was no rebel, Islamic Jihad leader says
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn his al-Meyadeen interview, Islamic Jihad leader Ziad al-Nakhala disputes Israel’s portrayal of slain commander Baha Abu al-Ata as a maverick wildcard who refused to take orders and shot missiles at Israel to stir things up of his own volition.
“He was a disciplined and brave commander and very much a fighter in the field … Israel is trying to give the impression that the fighters have no leadership or discipline and that they act in the field as they want … But, I affirm once again that no rocket or bullet is fired without the permission of Islamic Jihad’s leadership and the Al-Quds Brigades’ general leadership.”
