The national resistance brigade, the armed wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), and the Al Aqsa martyrs brigades, the armed wing of Fatah, claimed responsibility for firing four homemade shells toward the military post at the Sofa border crossing, east of Khan Younis in the Gaza strip, Wednesday at dawn.
 
The press release issued by the two groups stated that this attack comes as a response to the Israeli army attack on Jericho prison and the arrest of Ahmad Sa’adat, the general secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine on Tuesday.
