GAZA (PIC)– Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continued their escalation of military attacks on the Gaza Strip and launched two air raids on southern Gaza at dawn Sunday.
Local sources told the PIC reporter that IOF F-16 warplanes blasted a tunnel on the Egyptian-Palestinian borders in Yibna refugee camp south of Rafah causing vast destruction but no casualties.
They added that the warplanes targeted agriculture lands east of Khan Younis slightly wounding a citizen who was passing by.
An IOF spokesman claimed that the raids were in retaliation to the firing of a projectile from Gaza at the Sha’ar HaNegev in western Negev last night.
IOF warplanes on Saturday launched a series of air raids killing a commander of the armed wing of Hamas and wounding ten others.
In northern Gaza a Palestinian worker was injured when IOF troops fired at him east of Beit Hanun on Sunday morning.
Medical sources told the PIC that the soldiers fired at the young man while collecting scrap metal adding that he was hit with a bullet in his right leg.
