INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
were launched from the occupied West Bank city of Jenin earlier this week.The projectiles are believed to have been short-range and homemade
said.The statement added that the rockets traveled around 300 feet and that these "were makeshift rockets, with very limited
capabilities".As with all Israeli statements, they cannot be taken at face value, but the regime did say it was investigating the incident
These are dangerous times for Israel, not the other way round
Palestinians have become used to death and war crimes.Footage has gone viral on social media, which claims to be the rocket launch
Palestinians can be heard saying the target of the projectile was an Israeli settlement in the northern occupied Palestinian
"extensive" raid on Jenin
A number of Palestinians have been killed after at least seven drones fired missiles, flattening a residential home
Dozens of others sustained injuries.The resistance said it was confronting the Israeli ground troops with bullets and destroying military
Palestinians, five of them children, according to the Palestinian Information Center
The NGO says most of the deaths occurred in the flashpoint city of Jenin and its adjacent refugee camp.This included the use of Apache
helicopters for the first time in two decades during a large raid in Jenin that killed seven Palestinians and terrorized the indigenous
martyred nearly 190 Palestinians, setting the record for the bloodiest year in the occupied West Bank since the second Intifada.But
circumstances have changed since the second Intifada, when the Gaza Strip was also under Israeli occupation
Back then, Palestinians resisted with stones and a limited number of Kalashnikovs.The reality of the West Bank rockets is exactly how the
resistance in the besieged Gaza Strip operated more than two decades ago.Rockets from Gaza then were homemade and short range and they
inflicted little damage to the occupation regime
By 2006, Israel withdrew its forces from Gaza following retaliatory operations that included the launch of rockets.With time, those rockets
became more powerful and have become the most effective tool to deter Israel from prolonging its wars on Gaza
time that Israel wages a war on Gaza, its military sites and vital infrastructure are targeted and damaged by missiles fired from Gaza.Over
the years, massive rocket barrage fire from a tiny besieged coastal enclave has seen the resistance emerge victorious, with the occupation
regime failing to achieve its stated military goals
Instead, Israel has resorted to its usual practice of massacring women and children in its desperate attempts to bring about calm, as its
settlers hid in underground shelters.Over the past two years resistance in the West Bank has become increasingly more effective and
sophisticated, similar to what happened in the Gaza Strip.The new West Bank resistance movement is waging retaliatory operations against the
occupation regime that do not make the headlines and it is now following the wisdom of the Gaza Strip when it started manufacturing homemade
launched from the occupied West Bank will no longer be branded as homemade anymore
And knowledge is not something you can smuggle in vessels from abroad to a country under siege from land, sea and air
It can simply be passed on through communication.Knowledge also comes with awareness of current events
This is something the Palestinian youth have in abundance in the occupied West Bank
They would not have taken up arms had it not been for their awareness that failing to do so would see them ethnically cleansed under the
occurred mostly in Jenin and Nablus
Israel resorted to Apache helicopter gunships for the first time; the Palestinians responded swiftly but this generation is not the type of
Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Ziyad al-Nakhalah, said on Saturday that the movement has worked and is working to form resistance brigades
across West Bank cities and to arm them according to their military capabilities.In an interview, al-Nakhalah confirmed that the size and
capabilities of these battalions vary from one place to another according to the capabilities available.Al-Nakhala pointed out that
battalions and resistance factions in all occupied Palestinian cities bore responsibility for the current status quo
resistance, in which missiles, mortars and explosives are used to strike the occupied cities
He added the experience of decades of occupation is something the resistance movement and the Palestinian people have benefited from.Events
on the ground do suggest that the days of just throwing stones at Israeli tanks, however brave that was, are long gone
