| Al-Aqsa splinter group vows retaliation | |
| 2009-12-27 | |
| [Ma'an] The splinter faction that claimed responsibility for shooting an Israeli settler on Thursday vowed on Saturday to retaliate for Israel's assassination of three Palestinians in Nablus the same morning. "The Imad Mughniya Group," a militant organization proclaiming affiliation to Fatah's military wing, the Al-Aqsa Brigades, told Ma'an late Saturday evening that "retribution for the Israeli massacres in Gaza and Nablus will be equal in size to the crime."
Israeli forces stormed the Old City of Nablus in the early hours of Saturday morning, raiding several homes and killing three men affiliated with the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. On Thursday, the Mughniya faction said its members killed an Israeli settler near Nablus. In an emailed message, the organization also warned of "a series of attacks to come." The self-proclaimed militant group is named after the late military chief of the Lebanese movement Hizbullah, who was killed in a car bombing in Syria in 2008 for which Israel was widely blamed. | |
