Israeli army bulldozers on Thursday morning infiltrated into a Gaza border area while Israeli gunboats opened fire at fishing boats off the northern coast of Gaza.
Local residents reported seeing two military bulldozers leaving an army post known as Sufa and advancing towards in a border area in Rafah city south of Gaza.
Every once in a while such bulldozers enter border areas in Gaza and embark on leveling tracts of land.
In a separate incident Israeli gunboats at dawn opened machinegun fire at fishing boats during their presence within three nautical miles off the shores of al-Sudaniya area in northern Gaza.
The intensity of shooting forced the fishermen to return ashore.
