Islamic Jihad fires rockets at Israel town
GAZA, July 26 (UPI) -- Islamic Jihad militants said they fired two rockets at the Israeli town of Sederot Tuesday in retaliation for the arrest of several members of the group. A statement by the al-Quds Brigades, Jihad's military wing, said two locally-made Quds-2 rockets slammed into Sederot early in the morning, causing material damage and panic among the population. "The operation is in response to the arrest by Israeli forces of nine members of Islamic Jihad in Jenin and Bethlehem in the West Bank," the statement added.
