Al-Saraya announces the alert
In this context, Al-Quds Brigades (the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine) announced on Monday evening the alertness and the raising of the readiness of its fighters.
Al-Saraya said in a brief statement on its official website, "We in the Al-Quds Brigades declare alertness and raise the readiness of our Mujahideen, and the operational combat units, in response to the call of duty in front of the treacherous aggression that the great leader Sheikh Bassam Al-Saadi and his family were subjected to a short while ago in Jenin."
For its part, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) mourned the death of the 17-year-old Dirar Riad al-Kafrini, "who was shot by the Zionist occupation forces during the heroic response to their storming of Jenin camp."
The movement said in a statement, "The barbaric aggression against Jenin, and the arrest of the leader of the Islamic Jihad movement, Bassam al-Saadi, after the beating of him and his family, will ignite the resistance that will pursue the occupation and herds of settlers everywhere on our blessed land."
Since late March, at least 54 Palestinians, most of them in the West Bank, have been killed during operations carried out by the Israeli army, including members of Palestinian factions and civilians, including Al-Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Aqleh, while covering an Israeli raid in Jenin.
