Islamic Jihad member says resistance growing in West Bank
Ali Abu Shaheen, a member of the political bureau of the Islamic Jihad, has told Al Jazeera Arabic that resistance in the West Bank is growing more organised.
While Israel used maximum force on the West Bank, including deploying fighter jets, Abu Shaheen claimed the army had been forced to reduce ground raids given that it was confronted with more effective resistance methods.
The representative also accused the US of running the war in Gaza and criticised it for attempting to downplay the crimes committed by Israel.
