The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, declared responsibility for firing two Grad rockets at Netivot, at 9:10 pm on Thursday, December 31, 2009. The hit on Netivot was confirmed by occupation media and news sources, including that the occupation "early alert" warning system failed to detect the rocket's incoming approach, prompting Netivot's mayor to file a complaint with the occupation military.

The hit was widely reported in occupation media, including Ha'aretz. The AAMB statement said that this attack is a confirmation that resistance will continue in the new year and that the occupier's massacres will not prevent our people from continuing our struggle until the recovery of our rights. It called for resistance and national unity as the shortest road to freedom, including forming a united resistance front to coordinate military struggle against the occupier.
