Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said on Sunday that the Palestinian Arab “resistance organizations” succeeded, through their joint operations room, in taking the reins of the military initiative in managing the "revenge of the free people" campaign against Israel and thwarting its attempt to impose a new equation.

In a statement published following the end of Operation Shield and Arrow, Haniyeh said that the resistance organizations proved their ability to stop the "arrogance of the occupation" in its attempt to differentiate the Islamic Jihad in the military campaign and to drive a wedge between the Palestinian Arab resistance organizations.

In the face of these attempts, Haniyeh continued, the “resistance organizations” acted as one man and in full coordination to achieve the goals they set for themselves and to prevent the "enemy" from realizing his goals.

The organizations forced Israel to evacuate the "settlers" from the communities surrounding Gaza and to take serious security measures everywhere within the range of the rockets, claimed Haniyeh.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad would prefer that Israel would stay out of the way of their gang fight. Alternatively, they would prefer Israel kill off the other leaving them standing.

Whenever militant Islamic groups call for unity and cease fires, it means a government, not just Israel, is beating the snot out of them.
