Following three days of conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the Gaza Strip, PIJ leader Ziyad Nakhalah said in a press conference in Tehran that was aired on the PIJ's TV network that the Israeli "enemy" has conceded to the PIJ's demand to release two PIJ leaders, that the ceasefire proves that Israel has not achieved anything.

He said that if the prisoners are not released, the PIJ will resume fighting.

In addition, Nakhalah praised  Al-Jazeera Network and thanked it for its coverage of the "war", adding: "I salute you".
