Islamic Jihad denies reports it fired rockets on Israel

The Islamic Jihad group has posted a statement denying reports that it was responsible for rocket fire on northern Israel earlier this evening, saying that the allegations are an attempt to “avert the attention away from Mohammed Allaan.”

The group has vowed to respond with great force if any harm were to come to the hunger-striking Palestinian prisoner in Israeli administrative detention.
