Islamic Jihad: ‘If Israeli escalation continues, we won’t stop before Flag March’
Palestinian Islamic Jihad is threatening to draw out the fighting with Israel, with a source in the Gaza-based terror group telling Saudi-based Al-Hadath, “If the Israeli escalation continues, we won’t stop before the Flag March” in Jerusalem next week.
The source is also quoted saying that PIJ wasn’t informed of Israel’s decision to halt ceasefire talks, adding that Egypt presented a proposal and the organization is waiting for the Israeli response.
