Israeli war on Gaza border: Islamic Jihad plans mega attack

Palestinian Islamic Jihad attempts to launch a series of attacks against Israel in the coming hours or dayswarned the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). The goal of the terrorists would be to spoil the significant progress that has been made in understanding the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, mediated by Egypt and the United Nations.

Israeli security officials have detected unusual activity in recent hours by members of the Islamic Jihad's military wing at several sites along the border fence between Israel and Gaza.. The activity could include launching a Kornet, a Russian-made anti-tank missile, against Israeli targets, loading explosives on the border fence or attempting to cross the security fence border to conduct a mega attack on Israeli territory

These preparations for Palestinian Islamic Jihad are under the nose of Egyptian mediators and, according to military sources, Hamas is unaware of these activities. Apparently, the order to carry out the attack would have been transmitted from the office of the leader of the Islamic Jihad, Ziad Nahla, to Beirut, to the military branch of the group.

The reasons why the Islamic Jihad is interested in the collapse of the agreement with Israel, being negotiated through the Egyptian intelligence services, have not been clearly elucidated. It is possible that this is in the way the organization expresses its dissatisfaction or in a directive from Iran, which funds the Islamic Jihad, with the aim of destroying the agreement. Military sources said that Islamic Jihad would be responsible for launching six rockets at Israeli communities near Gaza last Sunday.

Islamic Jihad rejected the FDI complaint. "This information is not true," the Islamic terrorist group said in a statement.

Two Islamic Jihad leaders: Daud Shihab and Khaled Al Batsh are members of the expanded committee of the Gaza Strip, which receives up-to-date information from Egyptian intelligence services on the progress of negotiations. It is not clear if they are also part of the plan to disrupt the agreements by a large-scale attack.

General Ahmed Abdel Khalek, head of the Palestinian intelligence portfolio in Egypt, and UN envoy for the Middle East, Bulgarian Nickolay Mladenov, are negotiating the compromise between Israel and Hamas. They met with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh at his home in Shati refugee camp.

On the Hamas side, the talks are led by the group's leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, while on the Israeli side, they are led by the president of the National Security Council, Meir Ben-Shabat.

As part of the negotiations, Israel reopened the two border crossings with the Gaza Strip, Erez and Kerem Shalom.. With the latter, the supply of diesel (diesel) has been renewed to activate the power station in Gaza.
