Fatah: More attacks to come

Fatah activists belonging to the "Brigades of Return" and to "Black September" claimed responsibility for carrying out the shooting attack in Shoafat Thursday evening. The attack left one Israeli dead and another one seriously wounded.

 

A spokesman on behalf of the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, Fatah's military wing, told Israeli daily Ynet that the martyrdom operators returned to their base safely.

 

"This is our proof that we are no longer committed to the calm and that we do not intend to continue handing over our weapons," the spokesman said. "We are only committed to resistance against the Israeli occupation. The next attacks are already underway, we promised a response within a few days and this is the first operation in a series of operations."

 

 The spokesman also said this time his organization was only committed to respond to Israel's crimes in the Strip and to the killing of group members in the West Bank.
