Special report: Crisis between Israel and Palestine

    GAZA, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- A military wing of Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) claimed on Sunday responsibility for wounding three Israelis in a rocket attack against Sderot city.

    Following the shelling, Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, an armed wing of Hamas, issued a statement claiming they have launched two home-made missiles into south Israeli town of Sderotin response to the massacres committed by the Israeli army against the Palestinians.

    Meanwhile, Israeli radio said three Israeli people were wounded by Qassam rockets and some houses suffered slight damage.

    On Saturday night, Palestinian medical sources announced two people have died days after they were wounded in Israeli army operations in northern Gaza Strip.

    The dead included a woman working in a kindergarten. She was critically wounded earlier this month when a tank shell exploded near a bus carrying the woman and a number of children to the kindergarten. Moreover, another militant died while receiving treatment in an Egyptian hospital.
