The Islamic Jihad's military wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, said its fighters fired five mortar shells toward an Israeli force east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip overnight Sunday. A statement issued by the brigades said fighters aimed the mortars at an Israeli force near the As-Sureij Gate east of Al-Qarara along the border with Israel. "The Palestinian resistance has the right to defy any Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people," the Al-Quds Brigades wrote.
Meanwhile, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's military wing, Jihad Jibril brigades, issued a statement saying its fighters fired four mortar shells toward an Israeli force east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip overnight Sunday.
An Israeli military spokesman said four mortar shells were fired toward Israel, two of which landed in Israeli territory. The remaining shells, he said, landed in Gaza.
