The Islamic Jihad terrorist organization will not hesitate to escalate the “intifada” if necessary, a senior official in the organization said Sunday.
The official, Khaled al-Batash, told the Hamas-affiliated Palestinian Center for Communication website that the Palestinian organizations have agreed that the “Al-Quds Intifada”, as they refer to the current wave of terror, will maintain the characteristics of a "popular struggle", but that should it become necessary to adopt other patterns of struggle, "we are ready for it."
