Staying in the Gaza Strip, fighters from the leftist Palestinian group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestinian, announced on Thursday morning that they had fired home-made shells at an Israeli military base near the Gaza strip.

The group said that the shells hit the Nahal Oz military camp near the Gaza-Israeli borders. The Israeli military reported no damage or injuries.

Local Palestinian sources said that the attacks were reported in Qalqilia and Salfet, northern West Bank, Ramallah, in central west Bank, Bethlehem and Hebron in the south in addition to Jericho City.

The Israeli military radio announced that all of the 13 men were taken to detention camps for questioning and they were on what the army calls its "wanted list".
