Ziyad al-Nakhala, Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad, said that what is happening today in terms of the resistance and its development in the West Bank corresponds to the directives of what he described as "His Eminence, the leader," referring to the so-called leader of the Islamic Revolution in Tehran, Ali Khamenei.

Al-Nakhala added in an interview with the Iranian Al-Wefaq newspaper: “When His Eminence called on the leader to arm the West Bank, he placed his hand on a very sensitive area with regard to the conflict with the enemy, and based on this directive, which had a great impact on the morale level and the interest of the concerned brothers, and with cooperation Everyone has developed programs for that,” noting that weapons were smuggled into the West Bank and others were purchased from the Israelis themselves to arm the resistance groups there.
