Israeli tanks shell northern Gaza

September 4, 2016


Israeli occupation tanks on Sunday midnight fired shells at a Hamas resistance site in the northern Gaza Strip in response to alleged shooting at border troops.

Hebrew media said that an Israeli military force near the security fence in northern Gaza came under gunfire from Gaza. Soon after that, the Israeli responded by opening artillery fire at a training post belonging to al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas.

PIC said that local sources affirmed that two tank projectiles landed near a Hamas-owned site northeast of Beit Lahiya.

Last week, the Israeli army had claimed that some of its border soldiers came under similar attack from Gaza.
