al-Qassam: Jerusalem will be the spark of the coming battle

al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said on Thursday that Jerusalem was the spark of their most recent campaign, al-Asf al-Ma'akoul, launched during the most recent war in Gaza.

The statement was a reference to the deaths in Jerusalem of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, the Palestinian teen who was killed in a revenge attack after the capture and killing of three Israeli teenaged settlers.

The al-Qassam spokesperson, Abu Abida, said that Jerusalem will again be the spark of the battle to liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation.
