Earlier Sunday evening a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) movement has come into effect after three days of Israeli aggression.
In a press conference held in Tehran the Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement Ziyad Al-Nakhala had confirmed the truce but he added that it too “reserves the right to respond” to any aggression.
Al-Nakhala said the ceasefire deal “contains Egypt’s commitment to work towards the release of two prisoners”.
The pair were named as Bassam al-Saadi a senior figure in the group’s political wing who was recently arrested in the occupied West Bank and the hunger striker Khalil Awawdeh.
