A Palestinian Authority terror group loyal to Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction, announced Monday that it launched attacks on Jewish cities and on IDF troops during the course of Israel's Operation Cast Lead. Another PA terrorist organization that claimed to have taken part in recent attacks on Israeli troops was a relatively new faction calling itself Eagles of Palestine. The group is apparently independent of any of the larger veteran groups.

The Hizbullah-Palestine terrorist faction claimed in a weekend statement that it sent three female fighters on a suicide mission against an Israeli army patrol near the former Jewish town of Netzarim, south of Gaza City.
