Militant groups resume rockets attacks on Israel

GAZA, March 16 (Xinhua) -- Palestinian militant groups said their militants launched on Sunday several homemade rockets from northern Gaza Strip at southern Israeli towns, causing no casualties.

The armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said in a leaflet sent to reporters that its militants fired one homemade rocket at the town of Sderout.

"The rocket's attack is retaliatory to the Israeli occupation's crimes against our people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and a reiteration to the fact that resistance against the occupation would never stop," the group said.

Meanwhile, the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) said in two separate leaflets sent to reporters that its militants fired two rockets at the southern Israeli towns of Sderout and Ashkelon.

"The two attacks are response to the killing of four militants in Gaza on Saturday and killing five Palestinians in the West Bank on Wednesday," said one of the PRC leaflets.

Israeli Radio reported that three homemade rockets hit southern Israel, adding that the rockets exploded causing no damages or casualties.
