Secretary of Fatah’s Central Committee, Jibril Rajoub, has said that the Palestinian rockets launched from the Gaza Strip shook Israel and its security doctrine, Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper reported.

During an interview with Palestine TV, Rajoub warned that the battle is ongoing mainly in Jerusalem and Sheikh Jarrah as the Israeli occupation continues its violations.

On Friday, a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian resistance movements took effect, ending 11 days of Israeli bombardment of Gaza during which 279 Palestinians were killed, including 69 children and 40 women.

The Palestinian resistance, meanwhile, launched about 4,000 rockets towards several cities in Israel, causing damage to several buildings, paralysing life, and killed 12 Israelis.

The senior Fatah official hailed all forms of resistance and called for unity among all Palestinian national factions in order to benefit from the achievements made by the Palestinian resistance.

He stressed that disunity among Palestinian factions is a gift for extremist right-wing Israeli parties.
