The Secretary-General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ), Ziyad al-Nakhalah, confirmed on Sunday that the “Palestinian resistance will continue to fight until victory, as the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip enters its eighth month.”The statement was relayed by the pro-Iranian al-Mayadeen media, which often republishes the statements of Hezbollah, Hamas, and other groups. He said this vow came after a meeting of a number of “Palestinian resistance factions” in Damascus. He did not specify which groups met there. PIJ is an Iranian proxy group and it often coordinates with Tehran and with Hamas and also with Hezbollah.
According to al-Nakhalah the Palestinian terrorist groups in Gaza, which he calls “resistance factions” are now in a massive fight in Gaza “the likes of which they have never faced before.” It wasn’t clear from his comment if he means that they are on the ropes and they are facing too many casualties, or it was more along the lines of the Saddam Hussein “mother of all battles” propaganda line.
“He continued by saying that the Palestinian people are fighting in Gaza as they have never fought before and that the Israeli occupation is facing resistance that it has never faced before,” Al-Mayadeen media said. According to the PIJ leader, who relaxes in Damascus while his fighters are being killed, the path of the war is the best possible one for the movement.
This is “despite all the sacrifices and pure souls offered by the Palestinian people.” For Hamas, Iran, PIJ, and others, the suffering of people is always justified to get to their final goal of destroying Israel. What’s interesting here is at least the PIJ leader admits it. READ MORE
