Friday 3-February-2017

The Islamic Jihad Movement has urged the Palestinian people in the occupied territories to escalate their intifada (uprising) against Israel in response to its violations against the Palestinian prisoners.

This came during a protest rally organized by Islamic Jihad on Friday afternoon in Jabalia refugee camp north of Gaza in solidarity with the prisoners in Israeli jails.

Addressing a crowd of citizens senior Islamic Jihad official Dawoud Shihab stated that his Movement would never forsake the prisoners and would support them by all possible means.

Shihab called for more heroic operations against the Israeli occupation in the West Bank to retaliate to its crimes against the prisoners.

“The hysterical attack against our prisoners in Israeli jails are led by the extremist right-wing government that has accustomed itself to working day and night on sanctioning more racist decisions against our brave prisoners” he said.

He called on the Palestinian young people in all occupied areas to support the prisoners through launching more counterattacks against Israeli settlers and soldiers stressing that the Palestinian people have the right to defend themselves against Israel and its crimes.
