This morning’s murder of Hamas’ spiritual leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin by Zionist thugs has triggered angry reaction among Palestinians. Hours after the assassination, an axe-wielding Palestinian wounded three people outside an army base near Tel Aviv on Monday There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which followed vows of revenge by Hamas and another resistance group, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, for the killing of Yasin in a helicopter missile strike in Gaza. "A man from the Palestinian territories got out of a car and attacked three people with an axe," a police officer told Zionist Radio. A police statement said two men and a woman were injured none seriously - in the incident outside an army base in the city of Ramat Gan and that the Palestinian was arrested.
Also on Monday, a loud explosion echoed on the Palestinian side of the main crossing between the Zionist entity and the Gaza Strip and a Zionist soldier said a bomb was thought to have detonated there. "A small bomb exploded on the Palestinian side," a Zionist soldier manning a watchpost told Reuters. But Palestinian security sources said the blast was believed to have been caused by a makeshift "Qassam" rocket fired by Hamas fighters in the aftermath of Yasin’s killing. Zionist military sources said they had no details about any possible casualties. Qassam rockets, named after Hamas’ military wing, are frequently fired by Hamas, but have never led to any Zionist fatalities. |
