The Terrorist vow revenge. This is what war is all about.
The Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), a coalition of armed factions in Gaza, has released a statement expressing grief over the deaths of seven individuals in an Israeli operation in Jenin, vowing retaliation. This announcement came as thousands participated in funeral processions for the slain Palestinians, according to reports from the Palestinian news agency, Wafa.
Seven Palestinian gunmen, including members of a cell responsible for a roadside bomb that killed Cpt. Alon Sacgiu last week, were killed during a raid in the West Bank city of Jenin earlier today, the military says.

The PRC has described the raid as a series of “cowardly assassinations,” condemning the ongoing actions of Israeli forces. They declared that such aggressive maneuvers would neither break the will of the Palestinian people nor quench the flames of revolution and resistance throughout Palestine.
Amidst the mourning, attendees of the funerals voiced strong opposition to the occupation and protested against what they labeled as “Israel’s crimes” in both Gaza and the West Bank. The emotional ceremonies underscored the deep-seated anger and sorrow felt by many, highlighting the continuing tension in the region.

Furthermore, the PRC issued a stern warning in their statement, indicating that Israeli forces would “face consequences” for the escalation of their military actions. They emphasized that the response to these provocations would be both significant and multifaceted, signaling a potential increase in the intensity of their operations, regardless of the sacrifices involved.

One poignant detail noted by Wafa was that the body of Hamam Hashash, the seventh individual killed in the recent raid, is still held by Israeli authorities, adding another layer of grievance for the mourners.
The incidents in Jenin and the subsequent public reactions illustrate the volatile atmosphere in the area, with the PRC pledging to meet what they view as ongoing aggression with escalated measures of resistance. The war will go on of course, even long after there is any kind of peace. These terror groups have been attacking Israel for many decades, and until their goal of destroying Israel is achieved, the war will continue.
