The Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad, promised the Israeli occupation on Saturday that settlements and occupied territories will witness renewed shelling following the occupation's insistence on continuing its assassination policy against the Palestinian Resistance.

In a brief statement, the Brigades reaffirmed that "in the face of the continued assassinations and destruction of civilian homes, the Palestinian resistance will renew its rocket fire on Israeli settlements."

Moreover, the statement noted that as part of Operation Avenging the Free, "the Resistance has prepared itself for months of confrontation," adding, "We can endure for a long time and are blessed with a great, loyal popular base."

For its part, Israeli media, citing Western diplomats, noted that "Israel" is striking empty houses where no one is found so as not to "break pots."

Moreover, Israeli media said, "Israel is working to do so, so as not to force Islamic Jihad to escalate and increase its salvos."

Exclusive from PIJ official to Al Mayadeen: ‘Campaign continues, next attacks on the way"

A senior official in the Resistance told Al Mayadeen that the Palestinian Resistance will continue responding to the Israeli occupation's assassination of top commanders and its ongoing aggression on Gaza.

“The campaign continues, our next attacks are on the way,” he said.

Commenting on the new ceasefire proposal submitted by Egypt, the official affirmed that an agreement has not yet been reached, adding that the talks are continuing.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the top official noted that "Israel" is increasing talk of military calm after its assassinations, aiming at spreading disinformation.

“Israel wants military calm in exchange for calm, without committing to an end to the targeted killings,” the official added.

The senior Resistance official acknowledged that Netanyahu fears his government will collapse if he announces that he will abide by the Resistance's conditions.

"No leaks regarding a ceasefire should be disseminated, the Resistance alone will decide when this round of fighting will end," he said.

The top Resistance official concluded by lauding Egyptian efforts in the mediation and affirming that the Palestinian Resistance is dealing with the talks in a positive spirit.
