On Aug. 5, the Marxist DFLP said its military wing shelled an Israel Army position along the Gaza border, Middle East Newsline reported.

This marked the first time in 2010 that DFLP took responsibility for a mortar or rocket attack against Israel.

Palestinian sources said the resumption of DFLP attacks reflected coordination with the Hamas regime. They said DFLP had honored the informal Hamas ceasefire with Israel throughout much of 2009 and early 2010.

The Palestinian militia said it fired two mortars from the southern Gaza town of Khan Yunis.

"This was in retaliation for Israeli crimes against the Palestinians," DFLP's National Resistance Brigades said.

Over the last month, Palestinian militias in the Gaza Strip have intensified missile, mortar and rocket attacks on Israel. This has included Hamas, Popular Resistance Committees and Islamic Jihad.

"We call on all Palestinians to intensify efforts [against Israel]," DFLP said.
