Israeli Airstrikes Target Hamas Camps in Gaza |
2012-08-29 |
[An Nahar] ![]() An Israeli helicopter fired six missiles at two different sites northwest of Gazoo city, both training camps for Hamas' military wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, eyewitnesses said. In addition, an Israeli aircraft fired four rockets at a Qassam training camp south of Gazoo City, according to sources in Gazoo. There were no injuries in any of the attacks. The Israeli military confirmed the strikes on the northern Gazoo Strip, without mentioning the third one. In a statement, the army said its "aircraft targeted two sites -- a weapon manufacturing site and a weapon storage facility in the northern Gazoo Strip." "Direct hits were confirmed. The sites were targeted in response to the continuous rocket fire towards southern Israel," the statement read. On Monday, Gazoo faceless myrmidons fired three mortars that hit southern Israel, causing no damages or injuries. And on Sunday, two factories in the southern Israeli city Sderot were damaged by rockets. A Salafist group from Gazoo, Mujahedeen Shura Council, assumed responsibility for that attack. Hamas, which rules the Gazoo Strip, has maintained a tacit truce with Israel, but other armed Paleostinian groups regularly fire rockets and mortars across the border, which can spark air strikes in response. |
