| 2009-11-09 |
| [Ma'an] Two Palestinian armed groups claimed to have detonated a large bomb among Israeli forces West of the Erez border crossing in the northern Gaza Strip on Sunday. The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Al-Aqsa Brigades, which proclaims allegiance to Fatah, claimed joint responsibility for the reported blast. In a statement the two groups said, "This attack comes as a confirmation that both Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades and Al-Aqsa Brigades will continue in resistance and confronting the crimes of the occupiers, rejecting all the conspiracies that target the Palestinian people and their cause, and in response to the Israeli threats to wage a new war on Gaza." An Israeli military spokesperson denied that the reported blast had taken place. |
