Gaza – Ma'an – On Friday afternoon the Al-Aqsa Brigades confirmed the statement of "Abu Qusay" who claimed the Thursday projectile launch as an Al-Aqsa Brigades action.

This new information contradicts reports from early Friday, which condemned "Abu Qusay" for delivering false information, and banned him from the Brigades.

The latest information holds that Qusay's claim of responsibility for the Thursday attacks is accurate. An Al-Aqsa Brigades spokesman told Ma'an Friday afternoon that the launch of projectiles on Thursday was meant as a message for Israel that the Palestinian resistance will not stand idle before the Israeli aggression towards Palestinians.

Statements from the Brigades received by Ma'an declared that that the truce should be renegotiated to include the West Bank in order to end the aggression of Israeli forces against the Palestinians.

Brigades representatives consider the statements made by Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri regarding the parties in Ramallah and their relationship with the Al-Aqsa Brigades, as a strong step towards strengthening internal divisions among Palestinians. The Brigades source expressed the importance of this relationship as Israel's role in undermining the unity of the Palestinian people, their inherited history and struggle, increases.
