Al Qassam Brigades, an armed wing of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas, claimed responsibility for firing more homemade rockets at Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip on Thursday.

The group said in three separate leaflets sent to reporters that its militants fired Thursday afternoon one homemade Qassam rocket at the Erez industrial zone in the northern Gaza Strip.

Two mortar shells were fired at the settlement of Atzmona, southwest of the Gaza Strip, and six more homemade mortar shells were fired at the settlement of Morag, the leaflets said.

The group claimed that the attacks "are a revenge for the killing of two members of al Qassam Brigades in the southern Gaza Strip towns of Khan Younis and Rafah."

Meanwhile, Palestinian security sources reported Thursday afternoon that dozens of Israeli armored vehicles stormed the village of Kofor Qallil near the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

The soldiers stormed several houses in the village and searched inside, the sources added.

Also on Thursday, a senior Palestinian official lashed out at the Israelis for not doing enough to prevent the ongoing cycle of violence from destroying the volatile calmness.

Palestinian Information Minister Nabil Shaath said in press statements that the agreements reached in Sharm el-Sheikh summit don't permit Israel to carry out assassinations or resorting to the policy of violence.

"Israel postpones implementing the agreements of Sharm El- Sheikh. It didn't release Palestinian prisoners, didn't pull out from the Palestinian cities and imposes sieges on the cities it had pulled out from previously," Shaath said.
