A bomb explosion has targeted the security headquarters of
Palestinian Islamic resistance movement, Hamas, in the Israeli-besieged
Gaza Strip after an ISIL-linked Salafi group demanded the release of
its members from Hamas’ jails.
The Monday blast took place in Gaza City just prior to dawn and
damaged the building’s perimeter wall, the AFP reported citing
witnesses.
An online statement issued by a radical anti-Hamas Takfiri group just
hours before the blast threatened to “act against chosen targets” if
its captive members were not released within 72 hours.
However, it was not immediately clear if the statement and the
explosion were linked since the Takfiri elements in Gaza have issued
similar threats in the past.
“Hamas and its security forces have 72 hours from the release of this
statement to free all Salafist prisoners,” said the statement from a
group calling itself the Supporters of the ISIL in al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Meanwhile, the majority of Palestinians in both the West Bank and
Gaza Strip reportedly reject the ISIL, according to a March 2015 poll
conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.
The survey found that 86 percent of those polled believed the ISIL is a “radical group that does not represent true Islam.”
