Hamas vows to respond ‘soon’; Islamic Jihad says it’s ready for ‘next confrontation’
Islamic Jihad spokesman Tariq Salmi vows that “the resistance is everywhere and ready and willing for the next confrontation,” after nine Palestinians, including several terrorists linked to the group, were killed during an IDF raid in Jenin earlier today.
The IDF said it thwarted a major imminent attack being planned by the group.
Saleh al-Arouri, deputy leader of Hamas, vows that Israel “will pay the price for the Jenin massacre.”
“Our resistance will not break, and our response will come soon.”
