Ma'an – A unit of the Al-Aqsa Birgades calling themselves the Army of Al-Barak have claimed responsibility for launching a homemade projectile at the Israeli town of Kfar Aza, east of the Gaza Strip on Friday.
The Al-Aqsa brigades are the military wing of Fatah, the political party affiliated with Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas. The group said the attack was a response to Israeli crimes committed against Palestinians, and apparent attempts by Israeli groups to seize the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, the third holiest site in Islam. |
