The Israeli occupation army last night launched aerial attacks on resistance sites in the south of the besieged Gaza Strip.

A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that warplanes bombed a resistance site in the west of Khan Yunis adding that a resounding explosion happened in the area.

Later another resistance site in the west of Khan Yunis was also targeted by a warplane with two missiles.

The sites reportedly sustained damage but no casualties were reported.

Meanwhile the Israeli artillery fired tracer ammunition that lit up the sky over the Beit Hanoun (Erez) border crossing in northern Gaza.

The Israeli army claimed it struck sites in Khan Yunis in southern Strip after airborne explosive devices sparked three fires near Israeli communities bordering Gaza.

Israeli warplanes on Saturday night bombed different targets in the besieged Gaza Strip in response to alleged incendiary balloon attacks on Israeli areas.

Local sources said that warplanes bombed two resistance sites in as-Sudaniya area and southern Gaza without stating if there was any material damage.

A spokesman for the Israeli occupation army claimed the aerial attacks targeted a Hamas weapons facility and a rocket launch site adding they were in response to the continued launch of balloons carrying inflaming materials towards Israeli areas.

In a separate development Hebrew media reported that a number of fires broke out in green areas in northern Israel and a fire in Kibbutz Be’eri (settlement near the border with Gaza).

Israeli warplanes at dawn Saturday bombed different resistance sites in the Gaza Strip with no reported casualties.

A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that five air-to-surface missiles struck the eastern site of Beit Lahia which belongs to al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas.

Another aerial attack also targeted another resistance post in the northwest of Beit Lahia causing only loud explosions.

Earlier on Friday evening a warplane bombed an observation post in the north of Gaza after a rocket was allegedly fired at Israeli areas.

This escalation took place a few hours after Israeli soldiers killed a 16-year-old teenager and wounded five others in the east of Khan Younis south of Gaza.
