(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - In a brief statement, Abu Zuhri confirmed that Israeli threats to his movement have no value, stressing that escalation is linked to Israeli commitment to the truce.
On Tuesday, an Israeli airstrike killed three Palestinian resistance fighters affiliated to Al-Quds Brigades, Islamic Jihad's armed wing, east of Rafah southern Gaza Strip.
Islamic Jihad Movement has earlier declared an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire with Israel, however Israeli military sources denied any agreement has been reached between the two parties under Egyptian mediation, according to Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
Israeli war minister Moshe Ya'alon said Thursday that "quiet would be met with quiet", the newspaper quoted.
In a related context, spokesman for Hamas Fawzi Barhoum said that his movement does not trust any Israeli truce, stressing the resistance's readiness in case of Israeli provocations.
Barhoum added that his movement cannot prevent any Palestinian from defending his people and holy sites, stressing Palestinian factions' right of resistance.
If provocations continue, we cannot stand idle; he said holding the occupation full responsibility for the recent escalation.
Hamas aims to create a proper field management between Palestinian factions especially after Shale Stones' Battle in 2012, he continued, we do not trust any truce with the occupation.
He pointed out that contacts have been made between Egyptian Intelligence and Islamic Jihad; however, Israeli airstrikes have been renewed only an hour after.
