The armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) claimed responsibility on Friday of firing two rockets from the Gaza Strip at southern Israel on Thursday night.
Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the PFLP armed wing, said in a leaflet sent to reporters on Friday that its members fired two ( Grad) Russian-made
rockets on Thursday night from Gaza at the southern Israel town of Nitivot.
"Firing the two rockets is to reiterate that armed resistance will continue against the Israeli occupation and its massacres and wars against
our innocent people," said the leaflet.
It added that "the armed resistance and the national Palestinian unity are the shortest way to liberate the occupied territories and get rid of the military occupation," calling on other factions to strongly hit Israel by all means.
Meanwhile, Israeli Radio reported that two Grad rockets fired from the Gaza Strip landed on Thursday night at an opened area in Negev in southern Israel causing no harms or casualties.
Israel hasn't yet responded to the rockets attacks, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened two days ago that Israel would respond to every single rocket that Gaza militants fire at Israel.
Earlier on Friday, the Popular Resistance Committee (PRC), a small Gaza militant group, had also claimed responsibility for firing four mortar
shells at Israeli army vehicles near the borders between southern Gaza Strip and Israel.
