According to reports from Israeli National News, the Hamas terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for the attack and is reportedly in response to Sunday’s skirmish between Israel and Hamas where seven terrorists belonging to Hamas were killed, including Nur Barakeh, commander of the eastern battalion of Hamas’ Izz al-Din Al-Qassam Bridges in Khan Yunis.

INN also reports that an IDF Lieutenant Colonel was also killed in the ensuing gunfight.
