The Israeli artillery on Tuesday evening bombed a training site belonging to al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas east of al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.

The Israeli army claimed the shelling was in response to a gunfire attack on one of its military patrols near the border fence.

A Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reporter in Gaza said that sounds of artillery shelling followed by two explosions were heard in the eastern parts of the camp before finding out later that a site belonging to al-Qassam Brigades was the target.

He added that the shelling caused material damage to the site with no reported casualties.

Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper claimed that a military patrol was exposed to shooting from inside the Gaza Strip during its presence near the security fence adding that the army responded by targeting a Hamas-owned post.
