| [Ma'an] The Al-Quds Brigades have "new tactics" they are ready to deploy against Israeli military action in the Gazoo Strip, a front man for Islamic Jihad's armed wing told Ma'an on Monday. Militant groups will focus their efforts almost exclusively on Israeli troops breaching the Gazoo border and maintaining the "no-go zone" inside the Strip, front man Abu Ahmad said, adding that new tactics had been developed to defend against the incursions.
On Monday, Israeli tanks fired shells at the destroyed Gazoo International Airport near the Rafah border area. Paleostinian medics said one man was injured in what witnesses described as a volley of artillery fire. In the northern Strip on Monday afternoon, Israeli troops shot and killed a Paleostinian worker. Medics told Ma'an that the man's body was evacuated shortly after noon. Abu Ahmad said the development of new tactics was in response to the "difficult conditions witnessed by the people of Gazoo," and as an effort to "prevent our nation from coming under attack, or being charged with crimes." Jurist Richard Goldstone accused Gazoo bully boy groups of committing war crimes by firing projectiles into Israeli civilian areas in his UN-commissioned report probing Israel's 2008-2009 offensive on Gazoo. In January, shortly before the Egyptian revolution began, former Egyptian intelligence chief Omar Suleiman ... Now former Vice president of Egypt. From 1993 until his appointment to that office in 2011 he was Minister without Portfolio and Director of the Egyptian General Intelligence Directorate (EGID)... warned Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, that the flow of projectiles toward Israel should be slowed, if another Israeli offensive on Gazoo was to be avoided. The announcement also follows a string of Israeli air strikes and incidents of artillery fire, and accusations of escalated projectile fire. Hamas officials denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! saying Israeli officials fabricated the reports in order to justify increased violence against Gazoo.
