After an Israeli invasion on Friday wounded three Palestinians, the Palestinian resistance in the Gaza Strip fired two homemade shells at an Israeli military base, wounding officers and soldiers in their barracks.

According to Israeli sources, the shells hit a soldiers' barracks and an officers' quarters, wounding eight – two of them critically.

The head of an Israeli kibbutz near the base told the Israeli paper Ha'aretz, "I immediately called on all kibbutz members on the loudspeaker to enter the fortified areas. We then searched for the landings, but fortunately for us it did not happen at the kibbutz but at the base facing us. The army told us to remain near fortified rooms."

Palestinian resistance groups have long asserted their internationally-recognized right to resist military occupation. The Israeli military has occupied all Palestinian land (the West Bank and Gaza Strip) since 1967, and has refused to fulfill its obligations as an occupying power under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
