Hamas says it is not behind rocket attacks from Gaza
Hamas says it is committed to the truce with Israel.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - The Palestinian Hamas movement, which runs the Gaza Strip, arrested on Nov. 6 two people allegedly affiliated with a Salafist group over their alleged involvement in firing four empty rockets toward Israel on Nov. 3, an unidentified Hamas security source revealed to Agence France-Presse on Nov. 6.
“The Palestinian factions have nothing to do with these rockets, which are aimed at giving the occupation an excuse for continuing the aggression,” the source said.
The source stressed that Palestinian factions in Gaza are committed to the joint operations room to coordinate “any response to Israeli aggression.”
In a tweet on Nov. 3, Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee announced that rocket alert sirens were activated in southern Israel after a rocket fired from Gaza was detected and intercepted. He added in another tweet that three other rockets heading toward Israel were misfired and landed inside Gaza.
