GAZA, (PIC)-- Islamic Jihad movement described the Israeli occupation forces' (IOF) escalation that killed a Palestinian citizen and wounded six others in northern Gaza Strip as a crime.

Sheikh Khader Habib, an Islamic Jihad leader, told the PIC on Wednesday that the "serious act of targeting civilians" affirms that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) was not interested in peace with the Palestinians.

He said that the crime necessitated a suitable response, which, he said, all armed wings should agree to.

The IOA does not want negotiations that lead to peace but rather want negotiations to cover for its crimes and to deceive the world into believing that it was interested in peace.

For its part, the Hamas movement said that all resistance factions should be on the alert to repel any more IOF crimes against the Palestinian people.

Hammad Al-Ruqub, a Hamas spokesman in Khan Younis, told the PIC that the new aggression was probably meant to drag resistance into a new confrontation.

The IOF soldiers never stopped crimes against Palestinian citizens in Gaza especially in border areas, he said, regretting that the Fatah-controlled authority in the West Bank was insisting on having negotiations with the IOA despite those crimes.
