Islamic Jihad: The Gaza ceasefire


Islamic Jihad, a Palenstinian terror organization, announced today that it is redrawing from the ceasefire agrement which was declared between Israel and the Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.

Despite 7 rockets that were launched during the week long ceasefire, Israel chose not to respond in order to allow the Palestinian's more time to implement the ceasefire.

Islamic Jihad blamed Israel for the breakup of the ceasefire and threatened to strike at Israel within the next few hours. Islamic Jihad argued that since the ceasefire did not extend to the West Bank, something it blames Israel for, it will not stop its activity within Gaza either.

Islamic Jihad was responsible for many suicide bombings over the years inside Israel and is one of the organizations who made it a habit to launch Kassam rockets from Gaza into Israel.

Islamic Jihad does not recognize the state of Israel and its goal is the establishment of a Muslim state on its territory.
