Popular Resistance Committees respond to recent killing of six resistance fighters by Israel's war criminals by firing mortars at Israel. Unfortunately no casualties on the Israeli side.
GAZA, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Israel shut down a main cargo crossing with the Gaza Strip on Thursday in response to Palestinian mortars at Israeli army posts near Gaza commercial crossings.
Ten mortars landed near Kerem Shalom crossing, a major passageway used by Israel to deliver humanitarian aid and fuel to the besieged territory, and a military site near the closed Kissufim crossing in southeast Gaza, said Palestinian security sources.
No injuries or damage were reported in the mortar attacks.
Following the incident, Radio Israel said that Kerem Shalom crossing was sealed off.
Meanwhile, the armed wing of the Popular Resistance Committees claimed responsibility for the attacks in a statement, saying the mortars came in response to an Israeli airstrike on Tuesday which killed and wounded a number of its fighters.
