Islamic Jihad: Gaza rocket fire a response to ‘Zionist enemy’s crime’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group appears to take responsibility for a barrage of rockets fired from the Gaza Strip, saying it was a response to the “Zionist enemy’s crime that led to the martyrdom” of one of its fighters.
The al-Quds Brigades was referring to Israel’s killing of an Islamic Jihad fighter earlier today who the IDF said was placing a bomb along the border. An IDF bulldozer crossed the border fence to retrieve the body, prompting clashes with Palestinians.
Islamic Jihad named the Palestinian as Muhammad al-Naem, 27.
