Israel opens fire on Gaza

by Sameh Akram Habeeb


Israeli army launched several air attacks on the Gaza Strip. Khan Younis City mid of the occupied Gaza Strip faced heavy Israeli bombings from the naval forces in the western part. 

Meanwhile, Israeli troops based in the eastern part of the City was attacked by heavy gunfire and shells.

Medical sources reported that no injuries resulted in the attacks.

Palestinian freedom fighters clashed with Israeli forces which tried last night to advance into the eastern part of Khan Yonuis, Faraheen. Israeli army used shells and rockets in its operation. Two ground-to-ground missiles  were fired by Israeli forces which uprooted some agricultural lands in the area.

Hamas armed brigades, Ez El Din El Qasa, announced that it has launched five mortar rockets into the army. Israeli army didn't on its part approve or debunk the hamas announcement.

The Israeli escalation comes within very hard time for Palestinians. The so-called ceasefire still imposing hard siege leaving more people in hunger and sentencing more people to death. Three Palestinians were killed yesterday due to inability of leaving abroad for treatment.
