 Hamas military wing, Izzuddin Al-Qassam said Saturday it fired mortar shells at a Jewish settlement in Gaza strip wounding 13 Israelis. It added in a statement that three mortar shells were fired at the Nisanit settlement in northern Gaza. "The shelling is a retaliation against the repeated Israeli assaults against our people, the last of which was the desecration of the Holy Quran in the Israeli Maskobia prison," said the statement. The Hamas attack is also a retaliation against the Israeli systematic incursion in the west bank and the killing of Hamas activists in the occupied territories. |
