'Resistance prepared for months-long battle,' says Islamic Jihad armed wing

The al-Quds Brigades (Saraya al-Quds), the military wing of the Islamic Jihad, said in a brief statement they are prepared for a months-long battle, as hopes for a ceasefire fade. 

"In the face of continuing [Israeli] assassinations and bombings of civilian homes, the Palestinian resistance will renew its missile bombardment of the occupied cities," the al-Quds Brigades said in a communique via its Telegram page. 

"The resistance has prepared itself for months of confrontation."
