Israeli airstrike targets agricultural land east of Rafah

Sunday 14-January-2018

An Israeli warplane late on Saturday night bombed an agricultural piece of land near the Karam Abu Salem border crossing to the east of Rafah area in southern Gaza.

A Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reporter said that two air-to-surface missiles hit an agricultural plot of land east of Rafah causing resounding explosions that were heard by residents of southern Gaza.

In this regard spokesman for the Israeli army Avichai Adrei claimed that an aerial attack was launched on an infrastructure belonging to the resistance which he called terrorist in southern Rafah near the border between Gaza and Egypt.

He held the Hamas Movement responsible for everything happening in Gaza against Israel without explaining further.

The air raid was preceded by Israel’s announcement of its intention to close the Karam Abu Salem crossing east of Rafah on Sunday for alleged security reasons.
