A group linked to Al-Qaeda issued a threat in Hebrew on Thursday to avenge the death of two Gaza terrorists, in what one expert claims is the first use of the language for such a proclamation.In the 30 second long recording posted on a website used by Al-Qaeda affiliates, a hoarse voice says that the "aggressor Jews" will not be safe from rockets and other attacks until they "leave the land of Palestine." The speaker is identified as a member of the group Jemaa Ansar al-Sunna which has a presence in Gaza.
"Killing our comrades will not stop us continuing jihad," the recording says, mentioning the names of the two killed Wednesday. "We will continue firing rockets if God wills it, unless you leave Palestine. Your civilians will never be safe wherever they are from us," it says.
Mohammad Nimnim and Islam Yassin, killed in Israeli air strikes on November 3 and 17, were Gazan leaders of the Army of Islam. Israel accused them of having planned to attack Israelis in the Egyptian Sinai.
