The Israeli occupation army carried out on Monday afternoon a small-scale incursion into a border area in the east of the besieged Gaza Strip.

According to local sources seven armored bulldozers escorted by two Merkava tanks advanced from a military post into a border area in the east of Gaza City particularly near the closed crossing of Karni.

The heavy machinery embarked on leveling and digging swaths of agricultural land which are located about 50 meters from the border fence.

The eastern border areas of Gaza are repeatedly exposed to Israeli military incursions and gunfire attacks. Such violations cause considerable damage to crops and prevent farmers from working their lands.
