Tehran, IRNA – Secretary General of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement Ziad al-Nakhalah has said that the movement is trying to further arm the Islamic Jihad and increase its military power.

Al-Nakhalah said on Saturday that the efforts by the Ialamic Jihad Movement are being made in line with the fulfillment of a call by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei to arm the West Bank.

He noted that efforts are underway for forming combat brigades in all the Palestinian areas in the West Bank region.  

On the Islamic Jihad plans to arm the West Bank, al-Nakhalah said that these arms may be imported or be bought from the Zionists themselves.  

In an earlier meeting with new commanders of Quds brigades in Cairo, he had stressed the need for continued fight against the occupying regime of Israel.
