Gaza : Missile salvos unleashed from northern Gaza roared in direction of southern Israel on Saturday maintaining a de facto state of military alertness between the Israeli and Palestinian forces.
An offshoot of Fatah, “the Brigades of the Martyr Abu Ammar (nickname of the late Palestinian President Yasser Arafat,” said in a statemen that its gunners fired two rockets in the direction of the Jewish settlements of Zukim and Netiv Ha’asara.
The group said the pair of missiles were fired in “retaliation for the impartial truce and Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.” Earlier today, another faction, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, also affiliated to the mainstream group, Fatah, said its guerrillas attacked the Israeli-manned passageway of Erez close to the northern sector of Gaza Strip.
Another group, “Al-Nasser Salah-Eddine,” of the umbrella organization, the Popular Resistance Committees, said it was responsible for firing two missiles in the direction of the southern Israeli town of Sderot last night.
The fresh attacks coincided with Egyptian efforts aimed at enforcing a full and viable truce between the Palestinians and Israelis.
