Palestinian resistance fighters on Sunday fired eight mortar shells and four Qassam rockets at the occupied territories in the Negev.
The eight mortar shells, which were launched from the northern Gaza Strip, landed in the Eshkol Regional Council kibbutz of Keren Shalom. One of the shells hit a house, causing a fire, no one was injured. The four Qassam rockets, also launched from the northern Gaza Strip, landed in the Sdot Negev Regional Council. No one was injured and no damage was reported.
The Salah-al-Din Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, claimed responsibility for the mortar shell attack, and said one rocket that landed in the occupied territories was a new and improved type of mortar shell.
According to findings by the Negev police explosives lab, the rocket was a Katyusha rocket. The "Israeli" occupation army has yet to confirm the report.
Last week, 10 Qassam rockets and some 20 mortar shells were launched towards the occupied territories in response to an "Israeli" occupation army operation in Beit Hanoun. The al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad's armed wing, claimed responsibility for the attacks.
