GAZA, February 6, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli air strikes continued Monday on the Gaza Strip with jets firing missiles at open areas east of Gaza and tanks firing shells near Shajaiyeh, northern Gaza, according to local sources.

They said the air strikes panicked residents and spread fear among children while causing serious damage to the areas the missiles hit. No one was hurt.

Tanks stationed along the northern border of Gaza with Israel also fired shells at open land along the borderline causing damage but no injuries.

Missiles fired earlier by jets injured one elderly Palestinian man in northern Gaza.

Israel says the attacks came in response to the firing of one shell from Gaza at southern Israel without causing any damage or injury.
