Israeli army strikes Palestinian lands in besieged Gaza

Thursday 15-March-2018

Israeli military troops stationed on Gaza’s eastern borders fired on Thursday morning several artillery shells towards Palestinian lands and resistance sites east of the blockaded Gaza Strip.

According to local sources an Israeli artillery tank stationed east of al-Shuja’iya neighborhood to the east of Gaza City unleashed several shells toward agricultural lands and resistance sites in the eastern corners of the enclave.

Another Israeli strike targeted a resistance site east of Beit Hanun to the north of the Gaza Strip.

At the same time nine shells were fired by the occupation army toward the Shuhadaa Cemetery east of Gaza City. Israeli aggressions on the area have reportedly been ongoing.

Palestinian ambulances could not reach the targeted locations due to the heavy smokes wrought by the strikes.

The Israeli occupation military claimed that the aggressions came following the explosion of four grenades near Israeli military troops raking through the border fence.

An Israeli military spokesman claimed that the blast occurred at 06:40 am. No injuries were reported in the alleged explosion.

Channel 10 quoted an Israeli military official as alleging that this morning’s incident on Gaza’s border is “difficult and dangerous” pointing the finger at Hamas.
