Gaza: The Al-Quds Brigades, armed wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, said in a statement that its fighters fired three home- made missiles at Israeli targets as part of its Operation "Earthquake" announced a month ago in retaliation of Israeli atrocities in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

The statement said that three missiles were fired at the city of Al-Majdal and that the Israeli radio said that one missile fell inside the settlement of Karmiya and the other to the south of Al- Majdal without causing any casualties.

Meanwhile the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades [AMB] said in a statement that its fighters fired three home-made missiles at the settlement of Sederot as part of its operation "Ababil" or "Flocks" in which the AMB aims to retaliate to Israeli occupation atrocities by firing 200 home-made missiles, each of them carrying the name of an AMB martyr.
