Friday 14-August-2020

Israeli warplanes launched a number of air raids on different targets in the Gaza Strip at dawn Friday.

The PIC reporter said that the aerial raids targeted a deserted land lot near Gaza City while two others targeted two resistance sites in Khan Younis to the south of Gaza Strip.

The warplanes targeted two other resistance sites in Rafah to the southernmost of Gaza Strip he said adding that no casualties were suffered.

Israeli warplanes had launched several air raids on a number of areas of the besieged enclave over the past few days at the pretext of responding to the launching of incendiary balloons from Gaza into southern Israeli areas causing a number of fires in agricultural fields.

Israel imposed a number of other punitive measures such as closing Kerem Shalom the sole commercial crossing for Gaza shrinking the fishing zone and barring entry of fuel.

The balloons were launched in protest at the Israeli refusal to implement all articles of the agreement to ease the blockade on Gaza.
