(KUNA) -- Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, launched Thursday eight Quds-3 missiles against the Israeli city of Sderot in southern Israel. The brigades said in a statement that the attack was in retaliation for assassination of its leader in the West Bank, Hussam Jaradat, who passed away last night in a Jordanian hospital from wounds he had sustained last week. According to the statement, Israeli news sources indicated that the attack caused damage.
