Hamas Claims Rocket Strike on Israel

HeadlineApr 24, 2007

In Israel and the Occupied Territories, the military wing of the Palestinian group Hamas is claiming responsibility for a barrage of rocket attacks into Israeli territory. It’s the first time Hamas has claimed responsibility for a rocket attack in more than five months. No casualties have been reported. A Hamas spokesperson called the rockets a response to Israeli attacks that killed eight Palestinians, including a 17-year-old girl. Hamas agreed to a truce in November but has said it would respond to attacks on Palestinians.
