Israeli Fighter Jets Launch Airstrike on Gaza

GAZA, December 7, 2015 (WAFA) – Israeli fighter jets Monday carried out an airstrike targeting a site in Az-Zaytoun neighborhood in Gaza city, causing severe destruction in the area, according to local sources.

WAFA correspondent said Israeli F16 fighters fired at least two missiles at a site in Az-Zaytoun area, causing severe destruction in the area and spreading fear among local Palestinians, especially children.

There were no reports of casualties.

Israel continues to breach a truce agreement reached between Israel and the Palestinian factions on August 26, which ended the latest deadly Israeli onslaught on Gaza in the summer of 2014.

In 2014, Israel launched a war on Gaza which claimed the lives of about 2,200 Palestinians, and left more than 10,000 injured. Hundreds of thousands others are currently displaced and live in makeshift caravans or in UNRWA-run schools.

Since 2007, Israel has imposed a blockade on Gaza, which has caused a serious decline in the standard of living, poverty and unprecedented levels of unemployment.
