The military wing of the Gaza-based Islamic Jihad on Thursday blamed Israel for the death of three fishermen off the coast of the seaside territory and vowed to retaliate.
"Israel has committed a crime and the Palestinian resistance will surely respond," the terrorist organization said. "The Palestinian opposition emphasizes that it will not be possible to change the rules of the game set with Israel."
Earlier Thursday, Gaza's ruling faction Hamas said that the death of the fishermen was caused by an explosive-laden drone that was caught in their nets and had blown up.
