The Israeli occupation army at dawn Sunday bombed two resistance sites in the east of the besieged Gaza Strip with no reported casualties.
A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that at least two artillery projectiles targeted two observation posts belonging to the Palestinian resistance in the east of Deir al-Balah city (central Gaza) and the east of Fakhari town (southern Gaza).
The sites sustained material damage in the Israeli shelling.
A spokesman for the Israeli army said that tanks shelled sites belonging to Hamas in response to the ongoing launch of incendiary balloons across the border which sparked wildfires in southern Israel.
The recent sporadic skirmishes between Gazan youths and Israeli soldiers near the border and the repeated balloon launches are linked to popular demands for an end to the crippling Israeli siege on Gaza.
Meanwhile the Israeli government ignores Palestinian calls for ending its blockade on Gaza in return for calm and insists on “calm in return for calm.”
The Israelis have always failed to honor previous ceasefire pledges to ease the Gaza siege.
