State of Palestine: Gaza military parade honours new PIJ head


Members of armed wing of Palestine Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ), al-Quds Brigades, participated in a military parade in Gaza City on Thursday.

The parade saw thousands of al-Quds Brigades soldiers march from al-Saraya to al-Jalaa street and later to the residence of newly-elected PIJ Secretary General Ziad Nakhala to pledge their loyalty and pay homage.

Nakhala replaces former Ramadhan Shalah, who reportedly stepped down due to health issues.
