(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Four Palestinians including a child suffered different wounds in the Israeli artillery attacks east of Khan Younis in Gaza on Monday morning, a medical official source told the Palestinian information center (PIC).
The source added that the bombing of populated areas east of Abasan district in Khan Younis led to the injury of three civilians including a 13-year old girl and the destruction of the district water reservoir.
He also said that one Palestinian resistance fighter from Islamic Jihad sustained injuries in a similar attack on Qarara district in Khan Younis.
In this regard, Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, warned that the Palestinian resistance is well geared up to strongly respond to any Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and its people.
Spokesman for the Brigades Abu Obeida stated in a press release posted on Al-Qassam website on Monday that "the resistance attacks on enemy positions are only a message that the resistance will not allow the occupation to impose its formula of aggression unilaterally under flimsy pretexts."
The spokesman emphasized that the joint resistance operations that were and would be carried out against Israeli military posts reflect the high-level coordination between the resistance factions in managing the confrontation with the Israeli military regime.
"The persistence in attacking the Gaza Strip would incur stronger and broader response by the Palestinian resistance," he warned further.
Al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas and Al-Quds Brigades of Islamic Jihad launched Monday morning counterattacks on Israeli targets in retaliation to the Israeli aerial attack on Rafah area on Sunday which rendered many civilians and children wounded.
