GAZA, May 1 (Xinhua) -- The Palestinian Islamic Jihad
(Holy War) movement considered on Tuesday an Israeli blame on its Prime Minister
Ehud Olmert for the failure in handling the Lebanon war "a victory for the
Lebanese resistance."
Results of an Israeli governmental investigative panel, headed by former judge Eliyahu Winograd, was another
victory for Hezbollah fighters and also the Palestinian resistance, said Khaled
al-Batsh of the Islamic Jihad.
The Israeli government commission on Monday held
Olmert, Defense Minister Amir Peretz and former army chief Dan Halutz
principally responsible for the failings of last summer's Israel-Hezbollah
conflict, reading from a report of partial findings of their investigation.
"On the professional side, this report has proved the
big inability of the Israeli army and its commanders," al-Batsh told reporters
in Gaza.
He added that the report will also "prevent Olmert
from carrying out any military operation against Lebanon, Syria, Iran and the
Palestinian people in the future."
Meanwhile, Hamas movement said it agrees with the
investigative committee that the war in Lebanon last summer "was barbarian."
During the 34-day Israel-Hezbollah war triggered by
the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah last summer, Israel launched
air, land and sea offensives against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets at
northern Israel, killing dozens of Israeli civilians and wounding hundreds.
The fighting ended on Aug. 14 under a UN-brokered
resolution after about 120 Israeli soldiers and over 1,200 Lebanese were killed
in the conflict. Israeli did not get the kidnapped soldiers back.
