The comparison between al-Jazi’s pistol and “massive armies” was a direct reference to the failure of official Arab militaries to take any action.
Shortly after a Jordanian man, Maher al-Jazi, opened fire, killing three Israeli occupation army officers at the Karameh (Allenby Bridge) Crossing, the military spokesman for the Al-Qassam Brigades, Abu Obeida, issued a statement.
Although brief, the statement reflected the strategic importance of the attack in the view of Palestinian resistance.
“The Jordanian hero’s pistol in supporting our Al-Aqsa and our people was more effective than massive armies and a stacked military arsenal,” Abu Obeida said.
The comparison between al-Jazi’s pistol and “massive armies” was a direct reference to the failure of official Arab militaries to take any action that could deter Israel and end the Gaza genocide.
