GAZA, July 21, 2018 (WAFA) – A calm that prevailed in Gaza since early Saturday after reaching a ceasefire following a day of Israel air and land strikes on the besieged Gaza Strip was shattered hours later when Israel fired two shells at a location east of Gaza City, according to WAFA correspondent.
He said Israeli artillery fired two shells at a location east of Zaytoun neighborhood, southeast of Gaza City, causing a fire and destroying the site. No one was reportedly hurt.
Reports said the renewed Israeli attack on Gaza came after a group of Palestinians penetrated the border fence north of Gaza City and sabotaged an Israeli post before retreating to Gaza.
Four Palestinians were killed in the Israeli strikes on Friday. Over 200 others were injured in another Friday of border protests. One Israeli soldier was also killed by Palestinian gunfire.
No Palestinian retaliation was reported for the new shelling.
