An Israeli aircraft has attacked on Sunday evening a group of Palestinian protesters near the eastern border of the southern Gaza Strip.
Local sources affirmed that a group of demonstrators came under attack by an Israeli aircraft to the south of Rafah city.
The Israeli army claimed the demonstrators were firing fire balloons when its aircraft targeted them on Sunday evening.
No injuries were reported by the Palestinian Health Ministry.
The incident comes as fresh demonstrations are continued along the Gaza border on nearly daily basis.
On March 30 Gazans marched to the border fence at the start of a six-week protest dubbed “The Great March of Return.”
The mass protest however turned violent when Israeli military forces used lethal force to disperse the crowd.
