Egypt Daily News – The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced that they detonated a house that had been previously booby-trapped, targeting a special Israeli force that had infiltrated the Abu Al-Rous area east of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip, causing deaths and injuries among the troops.
In a statement, Al-Qassam said: “Al-Qassam fighters managed to detonate a previously booby-trapped house against a Zionist special force that infiltrated the Abu Al-Rous area east of Rafah, causing them casualties between dead and wounded.”
On Saturday, Al-Qassam also released a video message from Israeli-American captive Alexander Aidan, in which he harshly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing him as a “dictator.”
This came just hours after Al-Qassam announced it had targeted the settlement of “Nir Ishaq” with its short-range “Rajoum” rocket system, using 114mm rockets.
On the other hand, the Israeli army announced on Sunday that its air force had intercepted a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip, with no casualties reported.
In a statement issued Saturday evening, the Israeli army also confirmed that the air force intercepted a rocket from Gaza, noting that alarms had been triggered in open areas.
