Beirut: Islamic Jihad
published a video Thursday threatening Israeli soldiers ahead of the weekly demonstration along the Israel-Gaza border this Friday, Haaretz newspaper reported.
The clip shows the group's operatives looking through the scope of a rifle at Israeli military figures, including Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai, the coordinator of government activities in the territories. The video ends with a slide reading, "You're killing our people in cold blood and think that you're protected, but our snipers' sights are on your top commanders."
Israeli soldiers have killed nearly 100 people and injured several thousand, many by live fire, since the beginning of the weekly demonstrations. The deaths sparked widespread criticism of Israel by both human rights groups and foreign leaders.
