Israeli forces on Sunday morning intensified military presence around Eshkol settlement council near Gaza borders under the security pretext.
According to the Hebrew-speaking Walla news site a round of military checkpoints was pitched around Eshkol council due to an unidentified security-threatening event. No details were revealed on the nature of the alleged event.
Vehicles and civilians passing through the area have been subjected to intensive searches.
A few hours earlier at daybreak Israeli warplanes struck the blockaded Gaza Strip and its vicinities. Heavy material damage was wrought on civilian homes and properties by the offensive.
