Hamas claims mortar attack on Israeli army base
AP - Sunday, November 30
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - The Islamic militant group Hamas on Saturday claimed responsibility for a mortar attack on an Israeli army base that injured eight Israeli soldiers.
The mortar shells were fired from Hamas-ruled Gaza late Friday at an army base along Israel's border with territory. The Israeli military said eight soldiers were hurt, including two who were in serious condition.
Immediately after the attack, another militant group, the Popular Resistance Committees, claimed responsibility. Some militants belong to both groups, and it is common for rival militant groups to claim responsibility for the same attack.
It was not immediately possible to confirm either claim.
The attack came after more than three weeks of renewed cross-border fighting. Israel and Hamas had agreed to a cease-fire in June, but the truce started to unravel in early November, following an Israeli cross-border raid. Israel has kept Gaza's borders closed since Nov. 5 to try to pressure militants to halt the attacks.
