GAZA, September 6, 2016 (WAFA) – The Israeli military targeted with artillery shells early Tuesday multiple locations across the Gaza Strip, according to local sources.
Tanks patrolling near Nahal Oz military outpost along the border east of Gaza bombed nearby agricultural lands with three artillery shells, causing damages and a state of fear among schoolchildren. There were no reports of casualties.
The Israeli military also targeted with five artillery shells multiple agricultural locations near the town of Beit Lahiya, north of Gaza, also causing damages but with no reports of injuries.
The Israeli military claimed the bombing came after a projectile fired from Gaza landed at an Israeli military outpost along Gaza-Israel border.
Earlier at night, Israeli troops opened machine gunfire towards Palestinian homes and agricultural land adjacent to the border east of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza Strip. There were no reports of injuries.
Israeli army and navy routinely open fire at Palestinian fishermen and farmlands along the Gaza border in a blatant violation of a ceasefire deal reached between Israel and the Palestinian factions in Gaza on August 26, 2014, following 51 days of a military onslaught against the Strip which left more than 2000 Palestinians dead most of them civilians including women and children.
