GAZA, (PIC)– The Islamic Jihad Movement stated that the Gaza Strip is under constant Israeli attack that could escalate into a war, stressing that the Palestinian resistance has the right to defend its people against any aggression.
Senior Islamic Jihad official Khaled Al-Batesh told Al-Alam satellite channel on Wednesday that the resistance in Gaza has the right to confront the Israeli occupation and retaliate to its crimes.
Israel has intensified its aerial attacks on the Strip lately that led to many casualties among citizens.
In a related context, the Palestinian resistance factions and forces of national action in Gaza confirmed following their meeting on Wednesday their keenness on protecting the Palestinian people against Israel’s criminal schemes and aggressive tendencies. Senior Hamas official Ayman Taha said in a speech on behalf of the factions and forces that the factions confirm that the Palestinian people have fallen victim to the Israeli occupation for more than a century, so they have the right to resist it in the context of a national consensus.
“The factions renew their keenness on the safety of their people and their protection from any aggression and call on the international community, the international and human rights institutions, the organization of the Islamic conference and the Arab League to assume their responsibilities for pressuring the occupation and preventing it from committing massacres against the Palestinian people,” Taha highlighted.
