An al Qaeda-affiliated group in Lebanon has claimed responsibility for last week’s terror attack on Israel, according to a newly released statement from the group.
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades, named after Osama bin Laden’s mentor, released a statement in Arabic late Monday claiming official ownership of the four rockets launched into Israeli territory on Thursday of last week.
“This operation comes within the series of our jihadi work directed at the Jews,” read a translation the terrorist group’s statement, which was accompanied by several tweets from group member Sirajuddin Zureiqat, who posted photos of the rockets shot into northern Israel.
Zureiqat—whose Twitter bio read, “Mujahid for the sake of Allah, I ask Allah to accept” —tweeted out two time-stampedphotos on Tuesday of the rockets that he claims landed in two Israeli cities.
The Abdullah Azzam Brigades alleged that the Jewish state is secretly working with the terror group Hezbollah to fight against Syrian rebels.
This accusation is a sign that Syria’s civil war continues to fracture various jihadi groups along religious-ethnic lines.
“Israel, Iran, and Hezbollah maintain ‘a strategic alliance in the region and common interests,’” the statement read, according to the Long War Journal.
