GAZA : Martyr Ezz Eddin Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, on Tuesday launched several mortar missiles at an Israeli special force in central Gaza Strip.
The Israeli force was trying to advance into eastern al-Maghazi refugee camp at the heart of the Strip, the armed wing said in a release handed out here, a copy of which was obtained by Kuwait News Agency (KUNA).
It said one of its combat groups “had fired 18 mortar missiles at an Israeli force making incursions into eastern al-Maghazi refugee camp in the center of the Strip”.
The latest mortar attack aims to prevent “Zionist incursions” in Gaza territories and to take revenge on continuing crimes and aggressions against the Palestinian people, it added.
It even vowed to continue fighting Israeli occupying forces. (end) mzt.mt KUNA 311201 Mar 09NNNN
