A military wing calling itself Jaysh Al-Umma (Army of the Nation) claimed to have shot an Israeli soldier southeast of the Zaitoun neighborhood south of Gaza City Saturday morning,
The Eagles of Palestine said they shelled a compound housing Israeli tanks north of Makbara Ash-Sharkyah with two 15mm mortar shells.
