| 2002-11-11 |
| IAP News The Islamic Jihad resistance organization has vowed to avenge the murderous assassination by Israel of Iyad Sawlaha, the Islamic Jihad's top military commander in the northern part of the West Bank. Sawalha was murdered by Israel at his home in Jenin Saturday for alleged connections with resistance operations against Zionist targets. Islamic Jihad spokesman in Gaza Abdullah al Shami said his organization would retaliate for the assassination of Sawalha sooner or later. "We will bear all the consequences of our most noble fighting for our freedom. The Zionists shall not rest as long as they continue to usurp our homeland and torment our people." On Saturday, Islamic Jihad fighters killed an Israeli occupation soldier and wounded another in an attack outside the settlement of Netzarim in the Gaza Strip. The group said it would carry out further attacks against Israel. "That's cuz killing people is what we do, k'know?" |
