Al-Quds Brigades Announces a General Mobilization in Support of Prisoners
Preceding the Islamic Jihad's announcement about supporting its prisoners using all means, Al-Quds Brigades announce a general mobilization and confirm they are fully prepared.
Al-Quds Brigades announced a general mobilization among its fighters in response to the Israeli occupation's punitive measures against prisoners.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Al-Quds Brigades said that its fighters are fully prepared, preceding Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement Ziad al-Nakhala's statement concerning prisoners.
Al-Nakhala stressed that the movement "will not leave its members in Zionist prisons to be victims at the hands of the enemy," and that the movement will support its prisoners, even if this requires going to war for their sake.
The Secretary-General's statement was preceded by the movement’s announcement that about 150 of its prisoners started an open hunger strike, a step marking the start of a gradual escalation in their battle against the occupation prison authority.
