Two Palestinian citizens were injured Friday by an Israeli airstrike east of Beit Hanoun city in the northern Gaza Strip.
The PIC reporter said that an Israeli drone fired a missile at a group of Palestinian youths in Beit Hanoun injuring two of them.
Hebrew media sources claimed that the attack targeted Palestinians who were trying to fly fire balloons toward Israeli settlements neighboring the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian youths in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Great March of Return on 30th March have launched hundreds of kites and balloons with flaming rags attached to their tails toward Israeli settlements and military sites adjacent to the coastal enclave.
These kites and balloons have so far burned thousands of dunums of settler farmlands which caused Israel heavy financial losses.
