Israel: Gaza rocket strikes Eshkol, no injuries

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- At least one rocket fired from the Gaza Strip landed in southern Israel on Tuesday, the Israeli military said.

No injuries were reported, an army representative said.

The attack came hours after Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine fighters claimed responsibility for an attack that wounded an Israeli soldier on the Gaza border.

The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades said it was responsible for a bomb that went off beside an army patrol east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would deliver a strong response to the attack. "We will fight and we will hit them very, very hard," Netanyahu said.

The wounded officer was evacuated by helicopter to hospital, the Israeli military said in a statement.

On Monday, the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades said it had fired mortars at soldiers and cross-border rockets east of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip after Israeli forces killed two Palestinian fighters in airstrikes early Monday morning.
