Gaza - Ma'an – The Al-Aqsa Brigades, the main armed group affiliated with the Fatah movement have, on Monday afternoon, launched two homemade projectiles towards Israeli targets, in retaliation for the Israeli authorities arresting 15 Palestinians in the West Bank.

In a statement received by Ma'an, the brigades stated that they could not bound by a commitment not to launch projectiles, "as long as the Israelis continue to kill, besiege towns and build the separation wall".

They called on President Abbas to give orders to the Palestinian forces, which have been deployed along the borders, to blockade the forces of the Israeli occupation, instead of blockading the Palestinian fighters.
