A few hours after the Israeli occupation army carried out artillery attacks on three Palestinian resistance posts north of the Gaza Strip killing one citizen and injuring another a hail of projectiles was fired at settlements around the besieged enclave on Tuesday morning.
One resistance fighter from al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas was killed and another citizen suffered injuries on Monday evening after Israeli tanks shelled three resistance posts in Beit Lahia north of Gaza.
Last Sunday three resistance fighters from al-Quds Brigades (Islamic Jihad) were also killed in an Israeli artillery attack on an observation post east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
According to an Israeli army spokesperson two barrages of mortars consisting of 27 projectiles in total were fired from Gaza at towns in southern Israel on Tuesday morning adding that Israel’s anti-missile system intercepted most of the projectiles.
Rocket sirens were also activated in more than 20 Israeli settlements on the border with Gaza while settlers were instructed to go to shelters.
