Islamic Jihad called on the Gaza government to dismiss Minister of Interior Fathi Hammad after Raed Jundiya, a leader of Al-Quds Brigades — the military wing of Islamic Jihad — was shot dead by a police officer following a raid on his house in the neighborhood of Shajaiya east of Gaza City. Islamic Jihad has further asked that Hamas bear responsibility for Jundiya's killing.
In an exclusive interview with Al-Monitor, Nafez Azzam, a member of Islamic Jihad's political bureau, said that the killing is a crime and irresponsible act committed by the police. He called on Hamas to assume responsibility and dismiss either the Interior Minister or police chief.
