Hizbullah Brigades in Palestine claimed responsibility for attacking Sderot and the western Negev with two projectiles at dawn on Friday, according to a statement.

The two projectiles were launched toward Sderot and the western Negev at around 5:30am on Friday, the group said, insisting that more attacks on Israeli forces were still to come.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the attacks, according to Israeli news reports.

Regardless, a Palestinian was killed and two others were injured on Friday afternoon as Israeli warplanes targeted a motorcycle in the southern Gaza Strip.

The strikes occurred in the town of Abasan Al-Kabira, which is east of Khan Younis.

According to the de facto government Health Ministry's director of Ambulance and Emergency Services, Muawiyah Hussanein, three Palestinians were taken to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis.

One was pronounced dead on arrival while two others were injured, one seriously and another moderately.
