The head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's media office, Daoud Shehab, confirmed Saturday that there is no talk about any de-escalation at the present time.
"Our highest priority now is to resist the occupation, confront the aggression, and respond to this terrorism and these attacks against our people," Shehab said, stressing the PIJ's readiness to "continue the battle," adding that it "will create a real state of attrition within the enemy's ranks."
Shehab pointed out that "Israel has failed and will neither achieve security for its settlers nor be able to end the predicament of the settlers, who moved from the 4-day curfew, caused by the state of alert Al-Quds Brigades announced, to the shelters due to the Al-Quds Brigades' missiles."
He stressed that the movement will continue to operate in the West Bank, "despite the arrests launched by the occupation forces last night against our cadres and our resistant fighters."
On Saturday, the Israeli occupation forces announced the arrest of 19 members of the Islamic Jihad movement in the West Bank.
Shehab told Al Mayadeen on Friday that what is happening in Gaza is an "aggressive and treacherous war targeting the Palestinian people," and stressed that the Palestinian resistance "will confront it with all strength and steadfastness."
The Al-Quds Brigades began the retaliation process against the Israeli occupation's aggression on the Gaza Strip, by launching rockets toward the occupied Palestinian territories and more than 100 rockets into Israeli cities, including "Tel Aviv."
The Israeli occupation launched a military operation against targets of the Islamic Jihad movement in the Gaza Strip. Al-Quds Brigades subsequently announced the martyrdom of Taiseer Al-Jaabari, a military commander in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli occupation must expect fierce fighting from the Palestinian resistance without any truce, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Secretary-General Ziad Al-Nakhalah told Al Mayadeen on Friday.
Moreover, the Ministry of Health in Gaza spoke of 11 martyrs, including a 5-year-old girl, in addition to dozens of wounded.
The Palestinian resistance factions mourned the martyrs of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, stressing that the occupation bears all the consequences and consequences of this aggression.
