A Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander based in Syria was shot dead on Sunday in an attack the group blamed on Israel. The Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad’s military wing, said in a statement that Ali Ramzi al-Aswad was assassinated by “agents of the Zionist entity” in the Damascus countryside.
The Gaza-based group vowed to continue fighting Israel for its crimes against the Palestinian people. “The Quds Brigades will carry on its work, struggle and fight in all arenas to defend the holy land of Palestine and the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the group added in its statement.
