Clashes between Hamas, Zionist navy on Gaza coast

Gaza, 2008 Jan 8, Al-Manar
 
Hamas resistance forces on shore traded fire with Zionist occupation navy boats off Gaza's southern coast Tuesday, and an Zionist missile landed in nearby Egyptian territory, Hamas said.

During the exchange of fire south of the town of Rafah, an Zionist Air Force Apache helicopter fired two missiles at the Hamas forces in a security post, Hamas said. One missed a car and the second struck inside Egypt, it said. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
 
The Zionist army spokesman could not immediately say what was happening in the area. There was no immediate reaction from Egypt.

Zionist occupation forces frequently conduct operations in the Gaza Strip to thwart rocket fire from the volatile area, which the Islamic resistance movement Hamas took over in June.
