Palestinian missiles target Israeli military monitoring tower
(KUNA) -- Spokesman of the Israeli Army announced that three explosions occurred Sunday afternoon near the Erez crossing north of Gaza as a result of Palestinian shelling. The spokesman told Radio Israel that Israeli soldiers, stationed near the crossing that joins Gaza and Israel, opened fire everywhere and closed the crossing soon after the explosions occurred. He claimed the explosions did not cause any casualties or damage.
Meanwhile, Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) organization, claimed responsibility of launching two RPGs at a military monitoring tower north of Earz crossing. It said in a release that the shelling comes in retaliation to the continuous Israeli attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and on Lebanon.
The Izzuddine Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's military wing, announced it shelled the Israeli settlement of Netiv Esra with Qassam missiles Sunday afternoon. It emphasized in a release that it vowed to resist any Israeli attack on Gaza and to "teach the enemy a lesson he will never forget".
