| (KUNA) -- Fatah's Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility of firing five local-made missiles at the Israeli settlement of Sderot, early Wednesday. In a press release, the brigades said the missiles hit "right on target" and that sounds of explosions were heard from afar. It also said the group that launched the missiles returned safely, stressing that the attack was to avenge the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people and resistance activists in Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Meanwhile, a joint press release by Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, announced that the two groups bombarded Nahal Oz Israeli site, east of Gaza, Wednesday morning. The release said a joint team fired five missiles which hit their targets, precisely. It emphasized that the attack reflects the unity of resistance activists, and called all the Palestinian military groups to join hands. Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades had fired three "Aqsa 103" rockets at Sderot, Tuesday evening. In the meantime, eyewitnesses said members of Hamas's Izzidin Al-Qassam Brigades survived an Israeli bombardment that targeted their vehicle near Asfour fuel station in Bani Suhaila town, east of Khan Younis city, south Gaza Strip. They added that the activists got out of the car moments before Israeli Apache helicopters hit it with three missiles. The missiles hit the car directly, destroying it completely and setting it into flames, they pointed out. According to the witnesses, the attack led to the injury of a person who was passing in the area of the incident. |

| #3 Aqsa may have fired rockets but Israel isn't reporting any hits Israel does report killing at least one Jihadi about mid afternoon local time today. |

| #2 RIC, the time for such measures is long past---and not just in Arab-Israeli conflict, but in the general Muzzi-Human conflict. So sorry, but (IMO) nothing short of the complete eradication of the Islamic meme will work. |

| #1 Remind me again why Israel is sending fuel to these pukes? I like the idea somebody floated here yesterday: deliver fuel one day's worth at a time. If there is any attack on Israel, there are no fuel deliveries for a week. If after a week, there are no attacks, Gaza gets another day's fuel. Rinse, repeat. Of course, people, Palestinians and Jimmy Carter will whine that this is collective punishment. What are the rocket attacks on Sderot? Targeted? |
