| Al-Nasser Saladin Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Popular Resistance Committees, claimed responsibility Wednesday for firing mortar shells at Erez crossing in north Gaza Strip. A brigades statement said the group launched a pair of 100 millimeter mortar shells at the crossing just before midnight, Tuesday. The statement added sirens were heard shortly after the firing of the rounds, indicating a hit. This attack is in retaliation for the Israeli crimes against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, it said. |
