Militant groups claim responsibility for Israeli tower attack
2010-01-16
[Ma'an] The Al-Aqsa Brigades and the Imad Mughaniyah group, armed wings of Fatah, and the Abu Al-Qumans military council, claimed responsibility on Friday for an attack against the largest transmission tower west of the Erez border crossing, northern Gaza.
Golly, a transmission tower! Truly, these are men among men, Lions of bloody Islam like unto none other.
"This attack confronted recent Israeli invasions, attacks and assassination of six leaders of the Imad Mughaniyah and Al-Quds Brigades [Islamic Jihad's paramilitary wing]" a joint statement issued by the groups said.

According to the statement the tower was hit directly. Residents told Ma'an that loud explosions were heard near the Erez crossing, but that the cause was unknown.
