VIDEO - Islamic Jihad's military branch released a warning Sunday morning that dozens of women were ready to defend the Palestinian people if the IDF invaded the Gaza Strip.
The organization said it was fully prepared to retaliate "if the Zionist enemy committed foolish acts against Palestinians in the Strip."
"The enemy's threat to act in the Strip will not be fruitful and their goals will not be achieved. The Palestinian organizations are at high alert to handle a Zionist attack in the Strip," the statement said.
Islamic Jihad also released a video clip in which a high-ranking Jihad official said that his organization has prepared dozens of female suicide bombers who were eager to blow themselves up along with IDF infantry troops if if Israel was to enter and operate in the Strip.
One of the women in the clip said that she would like to be the first to commit suicide on behalf of the Palestinian resistance against Israel.
She said that she was jealous of the suicide bombers who "received Allah's help in fulfilling successful missions, and we wish to follow in their footsteps. The enemy will be defeated if it invades the Strip."
An Islamic Jihad official told Ynet that the army of suicide bombers was only one of the "surprises" prepared for Israel, along with heavy barrages of longer-range rockets and suicide attacks inside Israel. "We have said, and we will repeat – an invasion into the Gaza Strip will be no walk in the park."
Over the last few years, especially since the Al-Aqsa intifada, terrorist organizations have started to use women on several occasions.
In 2004, Hanadi Jaradat, a 29-year-old lawyer from Jenin, detonated an explosive device in the center of the crowded Maxim restaurant in Haifa on a Saturday afternoon, killing 21 Israelis.
She gets to guard the virgins. Seriously!
