In his call for protests, senior Hamas leader Muhammad Abu Askar in Gaza also called on Arabs and Muslims throughout the world to take action to defend the mosque. By midday on Sunday, 26 people were said to be injured after stone-throwing Palestinians fought Israeli riot police after right-wing Jewish activists entered the Al-Aqsa compound. Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri said the Israeli "attack" on Al-Aqsa was an attempt to escalate the situation. "The Israeli occupation is not interested in calm," he said, holding Israel accountable for the repercussions of the escalation. For his part, Islamic Jihad leader Khalid Al-Batsh said, "The Israeli assault is part of a central Israeli decision to escalate in the whole region. This escalation might reach neighboring Arab countries." Al-Batsh also called on the Palestinian Authority to suspend all contact with the Israeli government in protest. He also called upon Arab and Islamic countries to stick to their responsibilities in defending Al-Aqsa. Furthermore, he called Palestinian rivals to close ranks and end the current state of political infighting. The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) called on the Palestinian people to organize demonstrations supporting Islamic holy sites and emphasizing that resistance is the best option to confront Israeli occupation.

2007-10-27

Ma'an – Prominent leader of the Popular Resistance Committees Abu Al-Said on Wednesday called on the de facto Palestinian government to hasten disbanding the Palestinian Authority and establish a 'Resistance Authority' instead in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Speaking during a press conference, Abu Al-Said urged Palestinian resistance factions, particularly the Salah Addin Brigades of the PRC, to "kill Jews everywhere without waiting for permission", in retaliation for the murder of Muhammad Al-Ashqar and the violent treatment of Palestinian detainees at Ktziot prison. Spokesperson of the Salah Addin Brigades Abu Mujahid denied intentions to hurt captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, saying "Islamic morality states that captives cannot be harmed". Abu Mujahid said that any prisoners' exchange for Shalit has stagnated due to Israeli intransigence.

Dughmosh clan surrender weapons to Hamas' Executive Force

2007-08-17

Oh, them zany Dughmosh's... Gaza – Ma'an – The leader of the Executive Force in the southern Gaza Strip, Mahmoud Kheil, said on Thursday evening that the weapons of the Dughmosh family are being handed over to the Executive Force in the headquarters of the preventive security service in Tel Al-Hawa. Kheil told Ma'an's office in the Gaza Strip that "any weapons that will be seen later will be confiscated, and its owner will be questioned legally". Oh, I'll bet that will be ...interesting. Furthermore, all cars belonging to the Palestinian Authority that had been stolen from their owners will be returned, in addition to removing all the road blocks in the area. Sounds like "Animal House"... Kheil explained that the agreement with the Dughmosh family was reached after the Executive Force besieged the powerful clan family for three consecutive days. The secretary general of the PRC-affiliated Salah Addin Brigades, Zakariyya Dughmosh, who mediated an agreement between the Executive Force and the Dughmosh family, confirmed that the weapons that had been handed were the family's weapons, "not the resistance™ weapons". Yep, they can keep them thar Jew killin guns. Uncle Zakariyya says it's okay. He told Ma'an that "neither Hamas nor the Executive Force will obstruct the resistance™ weapons, which the Dughmosh family members possess, as they are legal weapons". ...and since they're just Jew killin guns, and have magical Jew killin powers, they can't be used agin them thar Executive Force boys. He concluded, saying that the family had thanked him for his efforts in reaching the agreement, which followed clashes between the family and the Executive Force two days ago, leaving behind two dead Executive Force members. Thanks, Uncle Zakariyya. So what happens over the two guys we killed? Oh, they get declared martyrs and toss the families a coupla bucks. Easier for everybody. Stay outta mischief now, boys. Don't make me come down here again.
