<p class="article">In  their statement, the two groups said that the firing of the missiles  came in retaliation to the escalating Israeli attacks against the  Palestinian people, and vowed further attacks.</p>
<p>They added that resistance is the only means for achieving the national Palestinian rights.</p>
<p>On Thursday evening, the Israeli Air Force carried out several air  strikes targeting Gaza City. A young man, in his twenties, was mildly  wounded, and was moved to Al Shifa Medical Center in Gaza.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Israeli drones fired missiles at a building used by the  Intelligence services in Gaza, and also fired four missiles at a base  used by fighters of the Al Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas.</p>
<p>Several artillery shells were fired by the Israeli army into areas near the Al Mintar Commercial Crossing, east of Gaza City.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the army bombarded an area in Jabal Al Rayyes, east of Gaza  city, and also bombarded an area in Beit Hanoun, in the northern part  of the Gaza Strip.</p>
