Saraya al-Quds, armed wing of the Islamic Jihad (Holy War), on Saturday denied receiving support or financial aides from Iran or Lebanon's Hezbollah movement to carry out operations inside Israel.

Some Israeli media reported on Friday that Jihad is getting aides from Iran or Hezbollah to carry out attacks inside Israel.

Responding to the reports, the group's spokesman Abu Ahmed said in a press statement sent to reporters that it is a justification for Israel to crackdown the movement.

Such statements are aimed at justifying the Zionist military campaign against the Islamic Jihad and its members in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, Abu Ahmed asserted.

Arguing that the resistance is people's right to fight against the occupation, Abu Ahmed said that all decisions and operations adopted by Saraya are in the Palestinian people's highest interests.

Meanwhile, he called on all the Palestinian factions by to be united to fight against the Zionist enemy and protect the Palestinian people.

As to a long-term truce with Israel, Abu Ahmed said that "any kind of truces with the occupation would not serve our people but would serve the Zionist enemy. For this we will not accept it."
