Islamic Jihad leader Abu Ibrahim:

"What we seek with our rockets is not to kill Israelis, but to maintain a balance of terror... The fact that a million Israelis were stuck inside shelters and suffered as as our people do is more important for us than deaths."

Its all about terrorizing the Israeli people.
From the Daily Star

Abu Ibrahim warned that the Brigades had weapons that could hit beyond the town of Ashdod, which lies some 35 kilometres (20 miles) north of Gaza.

"If the occupation targets any leader of any Palestinian group whatsoever or any citizen, the Brigades will respond with force and expand the reach of the response beyond Ashdod," he said.

The group possessed "thousands" of rockets and had expanded its arsenal by exploiting "the opportunities offered by the (Arab) revolutions, particularly the fall of the Egyptian regime," he added.

Still, he said, "it is not easy to transport sophisticated weapons into Gaza," adding that 70 percent of its rockets "are made locally by a specialised section."
"We now have guided missiles similar to Grads and we used them during the last conflict."

Abu Ibrahim also denied tensions with Hamas, which rules Gaza and sought a quick end to the latest conflict and kept its fighters out of the battle, saying: "The Brigades operate with full freedom."

And he denied "any coordination with any outside group, in Sinai or elsewhere." But he acknowledged the group receives "fundamental support" from Lebanon's Hezbollah group, saying it had trained thousands of Brigades fighters.
