Hamas' military wing Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and Ansar al-Quds have claimed responsibility for Monday morning's mortar attack on the south. They claimed the attack was a response to the IAF's airstrike in Gaza on Sunday.
Hamas and the Islamic Jihad claimed that the attack came as a response to the "Zionist crimes that injured 11 civilians, including two children." (Yonatan Gonen)
