Aerial attack on Gaza at dawn Sunday
by FalastinNews Staff
The
Israeli occupation army at dawn Sunday launched an aerial attack on an
area in the besieged Gaza Strip and closed its border crossings.
Media
sources said an Israeli warplane bombed a resistance post belonging to
al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas in Beit Lahiya, north of Gaza, causing only
material damage.
In
this regard, a spokesperson for the Israeli army said the airstrike was
in retaliation to the fall of one Palestinian rocket from Gaza in an
open area near Ashkelon.
Israeli
political and military officials expressed their belief that the rocket
attack was carried out by a Salafi group, who seeks to drag Hamas into a
new war with Israel.
For
his part, Israeli war minister Moshe Ya'alon announced the closure of
Beit Hanoun (Erez) and Karam Abu Salem (Kerem Shalom) commercial
crossings with Gaza until further notice as a punitive measure for the
attack.
