Palestinian Islamic Jihad
“The Palestinian Islamic Jihad is terrorist organization rooted in Iranian ideology,” said the IDF Spokesperson Unit. “Today, they used Iranian-made weapons.”
Three barrages of more than two-dozen mortar shells were fired from Gaza at Israeli civilians on Tuesday morning, marking the largest attack on Jewish communities since the 2014 “Operation Protective Edge.”
Many plots have been broken up, but tensions tend to rise this time of year, coupled with the Trump administration’s proposed moving of the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in May.
Hamas finds itself in a “very uncomfortable situation in the event of a clash with Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and therefore, we are continuing to live in the unsolvable equation in Gaza,” said Prof. Uzi Rabi, a Middle East expert from Tel Aviv University.
