3 "Israelis" Killed by Pal Resistance Rockets from Gaza

After three days of the ongoing ‘Israeli' aggression against the innocent people in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian resistance has stepped up its attacks on the ‘Israeli' settlements Monday evening.

Heavy mortar shell and rocket barrages rained on Ashdod, Ashkelon, Netivot and the western Negev, leaving three settlers dead and at least twelve others wounded, with two of them sustaining serious to critical injuries.

Three ‘Israeli' settlers were killed by rockets fired by the Palestinian resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip, as the ‘Israeli' occupation army concluded its third day of aerial assaults on the Palestinians in the Strip.

One ‘Israeli' settler was killed and eight others were wounded, three seriously, in the southern city of Ashkelon. The second was at the Nahal Oz kibbutz.

An third ‘Israeli' settler was also killed after a rocket hit a railyard in the town of Ashdod. Another four settlers were wounded, according to a spokesman for the Magen David Adom, the ‘Israeli' equivalent of the Red Cross.

The deadly kibbutz attack was later claimed in a statement by the Al-Quds Brigades, armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement.

The armed wing of Hamas claimed responsibility for an earlier attack, saying it had fired "three Grad-type rockets" at Ashkelon. Grad rockets are more accurate than the Qassams more usually used by Palestinian resistance armed groups.

'Israeli' occupation army has launched a severe aggression against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip since Saturday killing over 345 people till now and wounding more than 1,550, according to medics. 

'Israelis' living in southern occupied territories within 20 kilometers of the Gaza Strip have been advised since Saturday to remain in public or private shelters whenever possible. Schools in a 30 km radius from the Gaza strip have also closed their doors, Haaretz reported.
