Gaza : Islamic Jihad movement vowed Wednesday to deal with any international forces in Gaza in the same way as it deals with the Israeli occupation.
“We renew our refusal to deploy these forces and we will consider them an occupation force,” said Walid Hilles, a spokesman for the movement.
The Islamic Jihad made the statement following reports that the Israeli government was studying a possibility of deploying multinational forces in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip similar to the UN international forces in southern Lebanon.
Hilles, meanwhile, condemned the Israeli military escalation against the Palestinian people, referring to the latest air strike on Tuesday when at least six Hamas policemen were killed by the Israeli aircraft.
