Jihad armed wing denies its slain operatives were planning to fire rockets

"GAZA, (PIC)-- The Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, denied that its three operatives who were killed by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Friday evening were planning a rocket attack on Israeli targets.

Abu Ahmed, the armed wing's spokesman, said in a statement that the martyrs were on an ordinary mission and did not plan to fire rockets or any other military operation.

He said that his armed wing would retaliate at the opportune time and place to the "cowardly" killing of its three members.

The armed wing said in a statement that the three Kamel Al-Dahdouh, Mahmoud Al-Banna and Mohammed Marshud were visiting other activists when an IOF air raid targeted their car.

Medical sources said that the three were killed on the spot while a fourth man was hospitalized for serious wounds."


COMMENT: I wonder whether the leader of the Islamic Jihad group which was killed by an IOF missile was contacted (by the IOF) on his cell phone in the car in which they were riding. This happened more than once before, and in one case the dim-witted "commander" even confirmed his cell phone number to the caller, even though he knew she was Israeli! The IOF caller even asked the commander to stay on the line for just one more minute (while the missile was launched which homed in on the cell phone signal). In that instance the commander managed to escape just before the car was hit.

This is the caliber of some of the resistance leadership; but not to worry, they all memorize the Quran.
