Al Quds Brigades, a military wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, have promised an intense retaliation against Israel’s attacks on Gaza. Official spokesman for the group Abu Ahmad said the Palestinian retaliation is justified and is a defence against Israel’s aggression. Reports show the European Union mediators have urged for a ceasefire on behalf of Israel. “Israel started killing and now they are surprised by our strong resistance. Now they’re urging for a ceasefire, but that will not happen as the matter is in our hands now,” Abu Ahmad said. He said Israelis cannot raid Gaza because they know they will face strong resistance. “The stories of Israeli tanks mobilised in Gaza is just within the psychology of war,” he said. Al Aqsa Brigades have announced a series of attacks on Israeli cities. They include shelling Zikim military training base, Ashqelon with three grad rockets and western Negev with two rockets.         Document illustrating list of retaliation attacks
