Fatah 'faction' fired rockets from Gaza

The Popular Front for the Liberation of 'Palestine,' a 'faction' of 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen's 'Palestinian Authority,' has claimed 'credit' for firing three rockets at Israel from Gaza on Monday.

The armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine says it fired three rockets into southern Israel on Monday.

In a statement, the Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades claimed responsibility for firing rockets into Ashkelon, Nahal Oz and Beersheba

An Israeli military spokesman said militants in Gaza fired five rockets across the border on Monday, noting a Grad rocket fired at Beersheba was intercepted by the Iron Dome defense system. No damage or injuries have been reported, he added.

Schools in the southern Israeli cities of Beersheba, Ashkelon and Ashdod will close on Tuesday over fears of further attacks, the Israeli news site Ynet reported.

Maybe they were celebrating the anniversary of the murder of Rechavam Zeevi HY"D (May God Avenge his blood).

Of course, we'll hear all the usual excuses about how Abu Bluff has no control....
