Meanwhile, Secretary General of the Islamic Jihad movement Ziad al-Nakhala has met and conferred with the deputy secretary-general of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in a show of unity with Palestinian resistance groups after the recent Zionist onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip.
Nakhala, in the presence of leaders from the movement, received Jamil Muzher, who was accompanied by a leading delegation from the PFLP.
The official website of the Islamic Jihad movement said the two sides reviewed the political and field situation during the Palestinian resistance groups’ retaliatory operation — codenamed Revenge of the Free — after the Zionist aggression, expressing their high appreciation of the positions of the families of the martyrs and the role of the popular support in Gaza.
They also reviewed the field management of the battle, which foiled the objectives of the Zionist aggression.
The two sides underlined the continued functioning of the control and field command system and the effective targeting and direction of fire, despite the martyrdom of a few of the leaders of the al-Quds Brigades and its fighters, which forced the enemy to accept the condition of the resistance in pledging to stop targeting individuals, as well as civilians and residential buildings.
