There’s been another IAF airstrike against a car full of Islamic Jihad “activists” in northern Gaza: Airstrike targets Qassam cell.
A senior Islamic Jihad official said in response to the assassination that the killed men were members of one of the top-quality cells involved in manufacturing and firing Qassam rockets. He added, however, that the organization consisted of dozens of experts on rocket manufacturing.
A spokesman for the al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad’s military wing, said following the strike that “the offensive will not end the Qassam fire” and that “the leaders of the Zionist enemy will pay a price for this.”
And the terrorist rats are going into hiding.
Hamas’ military wing instructed its members to stop using their cell phones and to refrain from traveling in cars in order to minimize the chances for assassinations.
“Don’t use (Palestinian mobile operator) Jawal’s phones,” the group’s spokesman said on a wireless channel used by Hamas members. “Don’t gather in groups and don’t use any transportation means, as aircraft are in the sky all the time.”
Many official Hamas sources accepted the warnings and turned off their cell phones. Ayman Taha of Hamas said, “We must be careful.”
