[IsraelTimes] Gazoo terrorist group says it has a ’natural right and our duty’ to capture Israeli soldiers, claims rockets can reach Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

The Gazoo-based Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terrorist group showcased its military capabilities on Iranian TV last week, displaying tunnels, rockets, mortars and other weapons.

A front man for the group’s al-Quds Brigades, Abu Hamza, speaking with his face covered and voice disguised, said in the report that the tunnels were meant to capture Israeli soldiers for use in prisoner exchanges.

"It is our natural right and our duty to capture Israeli soldiers," he said, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Iran has provided support to the group since it was established, Hamza said in the broadcast on al-Alam TV.

The clip featured members of the group storming a replica village in a training exercise with explosives, machine guns, sniper rifles, rocket-propelled grenades and mortars.

The terrorist faction also showed off a "military industry" tent with stockpiles of rockets and showed hard boyz building the projectiles. The rockets can reach Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Netanya and farther, Hamza said. He went on to claim credit for a November rocket strike on Ashkelon.

Acknowledging Iran’s support, Hamza added that, "since the day of its establishment, the Islamic Theocratic Republic [of Iran] has been supporting the Paleostinian fighters financially, militarily, in raining, and in all aspects."
