Islamic Jihad attacks Israeli army unit in northern Gaza

GAZA, Sept 15 (KUNA) -- Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad, claimed responsibility for attacking an Israeli Army unit in northern Gaza Strip on Saturday.
In a statement, the brigades said the operation, which took place at dawn, targeted Israeli soldiers, who were on foot at the fence separating northern Beit Hanoun and the Jewish state.
Two "Zilzal I" explosive devices, each weighing 30 kg, were used in the attack, it said, claiming that the target was hit and that the activists returned to base safely.
The attack, it said, was in retaliation for continued Israeli aggression against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. (end) zt.ema KUNA 151059 Sep 07NNNN
