Islamic Jihad head warns of harsh response if Israel targets Gaza terror groups
Palestinian Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ziad al-Nakhaleh has warned that if Israel harms or kills members of terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip, Islamic Jihad will respond with force and target major cities in the Jewish state.
“I clearly state that we will respond with force and attack major cities, if any harm is done to [members of] the resistance or premeditated assassinations are carried out against them, regardless of their organizational roles, and irrespective of whether understandings have been concluded or will be concluded,” Nakhaleh says in an interview published on Dar al-Hayat, an Arabic-language news site.
