(Jpost)– Violence escalated along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip over the weekend after one IDF soldier was killed, four were wounded and three foreign workers were injured in clashes with Palestinian terrorists.

On Saturday, the violence from Gaza continued after four mortar shells fired by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza landed in a kibbutz in the Sha’ar Hanegev Regional Council, wounding three foreign agricultural workers – one of them seriously.

The armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the al-Quds Brigades, took responsibility for mortar fire that injured three agricultural workers on Saturday.

In a statement on its website, the group said that “it is the resistance’s right to act against any Zionist aggression against our people.” It continued, “We will take the path of resistance and jihad until all our lands are freed,” Channel 10 reported.

One shell struck a building housing the workers, who were employed by the kibbutz.

One worker, from Thailand, was reported to have sustained serious injuries and was also being treated at Soroka.

Toward the evening, an additional mortar shell fired from Gaza landed in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council. No injuries or damages were reported.

At night, a Kassam rocket fired from Gaza also landed in an open area in the same region. No injuries or damages were reported in this incident either.

A second Kassam was fired within an hour of the first incident, also falling in the same region, and lightly wounding a truck driver who sustained shrapnel injuries from glass in his face. The driver was evacuated to Soroka by his son. His vehicle was damaged in the attack.

Sgt. Nadav Rotenberg, from the Paratroopers Brigade, was killed Friday evening during a maneuver to prevent Palestinian terrorists from planting explosive devices along the border. His funeral will take place in his home town of Ramot Hashavim on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
