The Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian "Islamic Jihad", kicked off on Monday a days-long military drill in the Gaza Strip. The group had blocked entry to Gaza’s beach in preparation for the maneuver.
Abu Hamza, the military spokesperson of the Brigades, said in a statement that the "Azm Al-Sadiqin" (Will of the Honest) maneuvers are part of efforts to raise the combat readiness of their fighters.
