Resistance factions in Gaza hold military drill

Gaza (QNN)- Resistance factions in Gaza on Tuesday held a joint military drill. The resistance said the training aims at enhancing “the efficiency and combat readiness of fighters to be able to fight in all different conditions.”

All twelve resistance factions took part in the drill except the military arm of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement.

“The exercise comes as part of efforts to boost the joint action and cooperation between the military wings of the Palestinian factions,” Abu Hamza, a spokesman for Saraya al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad group, told a news conference in Gaza City.

This exercise aims to simulate expected threats by the [Israeli] enemy,” he said.

Abu Mujahed, a spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees, said the drill “confirms that the resistance has an army that believes in unity in confronting the Zionist enemy and carries a message to the enemy that any aggression against our people will be met with a unified response”.
