The Islamic Jihad terrorist organization said in response to the IDF's widespread arrest operation in the West Bank that the blood of the five Palestinian who died in the armed clashes that erupted Sunday morning "had not been shed in vain."
"Israel will pay a price for all its crimes against our land and our people,"
Islamic Jihad spokesman in Gaza, Daoud Shihab, said that the opposition has the right to respond in appropriate ways and means. "The Resistance has the ability, and this crime will not break it. It will surprise Israel as it promised."
