KABUL: (Middle East Press) Palestinian will respond to any potential new war against the Gaza Strip by Israel amid a rise in threats by Israeli political figures preparing for upcoming elections, according to reports.
Palestinian resistance groups, including the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), said they were taking the fresh anti-Gaza bombast by the Israeli politicians seriously, warning that any violence on the blockaded coastal enclave would be met with brutal resistance.
This comes after Israeli army Major General Yuav Galant said he would launch a new war against the Gaza Strip if he became defense minister following the March 17 legislative elections.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman also recently said it was only a matter of time before another war on Gaza would take place.
The resistance groups said the recent threats only show Tel Aviv’s hostile intentions against the Palestinian people, especially those living in the Gaza Strip.
The new threats come only months after the Gaza Strip faced a deadly Israeli war.
