 (Xinhua) -- An Islamic Jihad (Holy War) movement terrorist militant was killed and three terrorists wounded in an Israeli tanks shelling on a group of militants east of Gaza City on Monday, doctors and witnesses said.
The Islamic Jihad said in a leaflet that one of its terrorists militants was killed and three terrorists wounded as they were launching homemade rockets from eastern Gaza City at the southern Israeli town of Sderout.
Islamic Hamas movement's armed wing al-Qassam Brigades also claimed responsibility for launching a long-range Grad rocket from Gaza at the costal Israeli town of Ashkelon in southern Israel. Israeli Radio reported that a Grad rocket hit the boundaries of the town, adding that one Israeli civilian was lightly injured and severe damages were caused where the rocket landed.
The group said the rocket attack was a response to Israel's killing three Palestinian terrorists militants earlier on Monday. On Monday morning, three Islamic Jihad terrorists militants were killed and three wounded in an Israeli airstrike on a group of terrorists militants east of the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Younis. |
