(IsraelNN.com) The PFLP terror group threatened Wednesday to attack Israel's leadership in response to the killing of Hizbullah arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh.

The organization's communiqué said: "The Zionist murderers and their collaborators who damaged the victories of the resistance and murdered the leader and holy warrior Mughniyeh and the additional martyrs who were killed by the Zionist treason, hatred and Nazism, must know that the hand of the resistance and its people will respond with bullets and murderous explosives [at the] heads, throats and chests of the leaders and heads of the Zionist terror and its collaborators."

"Those who planned and schemed to kill (…) Mughniyeh know full well the martyrs elevated status and his total jihadi role," the statement said. The word "jihad" refers to a Muslim holy war.
