An Israeli military jeep was blasted with a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) north of Gaza City Monday evening.

The Fatah-affiliated Al-Mujahidin Brigades claimed to have launched the explosive at the Jeep, which was touring near Beit Hanoun.

The Brigades released a statement following the attack claiming that a videotape showsan Israeli ambulance rushing to the scene.

The Israeli military press office said there was no evidence of an attack.

Late on Monday night, Hizbullah in Palestine claimed responsibility for firing a rocket-propelled grenade at an Israeli military jeep northeast of Beit Hanoun in Gaza.

In a statement, the group said there were injuries among the Israeli soldiers targeted.

That claim could not be independently verified by Ma'an.

Meanwhile, the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, claimed responsibility for targeting the Kisufem military post near central Gaza with two mortars.
