Also on Wednesday morning a group of resistance fighters targeted an Israeli army vehicle, north of the Gaza Strip with a homemade mortar shell, army sources reported. There was damage to the vehicle, but no injuries among the troops.
This attack by the local resistance in Gaza comes in response to the Autumn Clouds Israeli military offensive last week that clamed the lives of 95 civilians including 18 residents from the same family, mostly women and children.
