Hours after a Zionist air strike killed a Hamas resistance fighter, eighteen rockets fired from Gaza slammed into the south of occupied Palestine on Sunday
Hours after a Zionist air strike killed a Hamas resistance fighter, eighteen rockets fired from Gaza slammed into the south of occupied Palestine on Sunday.
The armed wing of the ruling Hamas movement said it was revenge to the air raid that martyred Suleiman Kamel al-Qara, 25, a member of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told AFP at least 18 rockets were fired at the occupied territories, without causing injuries or damage, adding the count was from midnight.
In Gaza, fighters from the Popular Resistance Committees claimed responsibility for the two rockets fired at Beersheva.
Late Sunday the Israeli air force carried out two raids on the Gaza Strip, destroying one home but causing no casualties, Palestinian security sources said. The army spokesman confirmed the raids which he claimed were aimed at "the rocket launcher sites and terrorist activities."
The exchanges prompted Beersheva mayor Ruvik Danilovitch to cancel school classes until further notice. "Many of the houses in our town are not protected (against rocket fire) and we cannot play with the lives of our children," he told Israeli public radio.
