Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Missile fired against occupied city in N. Gaza
2006-04-21
The military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, Al-Quds Brigades, claimed Thursday responsibility for attacking a city in south Israel. The brigades said in a statement that one of its groups launched an advanced Quds-3 missile against the occupied city of 'Majdal' in north Gaza.

The statement indicated that Israeli sources have declared that a missile landed in an Israeli site in the city, claiming that no casualties have been reported. The brigades affirmed that resistance is the best and only option to regain the occupied Palestinian lands and put an end to the Israeli occupation.

#2  Arabic,majdal = Hebrew, Migdal, = English, Tower.

At first this confused me, as the only city called Migdal I know is Migdal ha Emek, which is in the North, nowhere near Gaza.

A little searching though, shows an arab village called Migdal/majdal near the modern Israeli city of Askhelon. Which IS north of Gaza. So this is probably a claimed attack on Ashkelon.
