Iraqi newly-called volunteers of the "Jerusalem Liberation Army" on Sunday held ceremonies in the capital of Baghdad and other provinces to start their military training.

The military training, which will take place in undisclosed camps, is expected to last for two months, the official INA News Agency reported.

At the ceremonies, the volunteers expressed "their willingness to liberate Palestinian lands" from Israeli occupation, the INA said.

Iraq announced last year that it formed a 6.5-million-strong "Jerusalem Liberation Army", who volunteered to join the Palestinians in their fight against the Israeli army.

Iraq has shown vehement support for the Palestinian intifada (uprising) against Israel and has repeatedly called for a jihad (holy war) against the Jewish state.
