Islamic Jihad, Riddled with Losses, Vows to Fight On
(Jerusalem Post) Matthew Gutman - Abu Assad, one of the few remaining senior Islamic Jihad leaders in Tulkarm, vowed that his Iranian-backed group would continue to dispatch suicide bombers to Israel until "all of Palestine" is liberated. Five years ago, notes Abu Assad, the Tulkarm refugee camp was home to some 40 wanted men from Islamic Jihad. Only three are alive today. The rest died attacking Israel, were killed in IDF raids, or were arrested. The IDF estimates there are between 100 and 300 active Islamic Jihad fighters in the West Bank.
