PALESTINIAN prisoners remain at the heart of the resistance, solidarity organisations said today, as they called for action to secure the freedom of those behind bars.

Leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group Ziad Nakhaleh announced a ceasefire late on Sunday, bringing a pause to Israel’s bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip. 

Operation Dawn was said to be targeting the resistance group, but at least 15 children were among those killed in indiscriminate air strikes by Tel Aviv.
