Palestinian Islamic Jihad Warns Israel: ‘For Every One of Us You Kill We Will Bomb Tel Aviv’ - Sputnik International

As the fragile ceasefire brokered by Egypt last week between Israel and Hamas continues to hold, the head of Palestinian Islamic Jihad Ziyad al-Nakhalah has issued a warning.

    "The assassination of any of our commanders or soldiers, wherever it is, will lead us to respond immediately by bombing Tel Aviv," stated al-Nakhalah.

The Secretary-General of Islamic Jihad spoke on Saturday, echoing earlier statements made by Iranian Generals.

Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force General Esmaeil Qaani spoke at a ceremony in Tehran where he advised that Israelis to “buy back the houses they sold in Europe, America, and elsewhere, before they become expensive", indicating that it was time they considered leaving Palestinian territories.

    "I'd advise all Zionists to go back and repurchase the houses they have sold in Europe, the US, and elsewhere to come to the Palestinian territories before the houses become more expensive than today," stated Qaani.

The General’s remarks were timed to coincide with the 40th day since the death of deputy Brigadier General Mohammad Hejazi and in the wake of the recent 11-day hostilities between Israel and Hamas.

According to the general, the “Palestinian resistance” has shown that the “Zionist regime must think of a time when this land is no longer under their control."
