Islamic Jihad group denies it is planning major attack on Gaza border

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group denies reports it is planning a large-scale attack on the Gaza border.

Nafez Azzam, a member of the group’s political bureau, says in a statement “there is no truth to this news propagated by Israel.”

He claims Israel “is trying to spread confusion in the Palestinian arena” in order to justify attacks on the Gaza Strip.
