The announcement also said that the Al-Aqsa Brigades would target IDF soldiers and Israeli residents. The Mujahideen movement and Brigades of the National Struggle, the military wing of the Democratic Front, said that their activists would not allow Israel to continue its "crimes" and would respond forcefully to any military action.
