Palestinian militants launch rockets at Israel
23/7/2006 10:48
Two Palestinian militant groups said yesterday that their militants fired
a number of homemade rockets at Israeli targets in southern and western
Israel.
Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, an armed wing of the Islamic
Resistance Movement (Hamas), claimed responsibility for firing two rockets into
the Israeli military post of Nahil Ouz at 6:00 a.m. ( 0300 GMT) Saturday
morning.
The attack was in response to "the ongoing Israeli aggression in the
Palestinian territories and southern Lebanon," the group said in a
statement.
In addition, militants from al-Aqsa Brigades, the Fatah's armed
wing, said that they launched one rocket into the Israeli military post of
Kissufim early in the morning.
Responding to the rocket attacks, the Israeli
army fired artillery shells into northern Gaza Strip, wounding a 70-year-old
Palestinian, medical sources said.
