Renewed Israeli airstrikes rock different areas of Gaza

Wednesday 12-August-2020

Israeli warplanes at dawn Wednesday bombed several sites in the besieged Gaza Strip with no reported casualties.

According to local sources airstrikes targeted a resistance site in the west of Gaza City and a swath of land in the east of Rafah south of the Strip.

Other air raids targeted an observation post belonging to the resistance in al-Nahda neighborhood in Rafah and a field control point in the east of Gaza City.

Some material damage reportedly happened in the bombed areas.

The Israeli army claimed its renewed airstrikes were in response to recent airborne arson attacks that sparked more than 60 fires in Israeli areas.

However local sources in Gaza described the flying of balloons carrying incendiaries towards Israel by young men as acts of protest against Israel’s failure to honor previous ceasefire pledges to ease the blockade on Gaza.
