We are not looking for a conflict but we will not hesitate to defend our citizens if necessary”: This is the message that Defense Minister Benny Gantz addressed today to Gaza’s leaders after he repeated Islamic Jihad’s threats in recent days to launch attacks on Israel. “To our enemies, especially the leaders of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, I would like to say that time is up. This threat will go away one way or another.” The escalation on the border between Israel and Gaza came four days ago, following the capture of the head of the Islamic Jihad movement in the West Bank, Bassam al-Saadi. The military wing of his organization declared a state of high alert among the militia members and threatened to launch attacks. Israel in particular fears anti-tank missile attacks from Gaza against Israeli vehicles that pass along the edge of the Strip and have closed several arteries and part of the railway to traffic. Gantz also accused Hamas and Islamic Jihad of “holding the people of the Gaza Strip hostage” and of being the cause of their suffering due to the prolonged closure of the crossings between Gaza and Israel. In an effort to avoid escalation, Egypt mediated between Israel and Islamic Jihad. According to the media, a UN advocate visited Al-Saadi’s family to reassure them of her relative’s health after news of her injury during his arrest. Addressing the international community, especially those who have tried to calm the tension, Gantz stressed that “Israel is acting in a responsible and controlled manner.”
