Israel breaches truce, hits blockaded Gaza with spates of air strikes
GAZA, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation warplanes launched a series of air raids on the blockaded Gaza Strip early Wednesday morning in another flagrant violation of the Cairo-brokered ceasefire deal.
Local sources said F16 fighter jets had intensively hovered over the coastal enclave and hit an agricultural land near Gaza International Airport with at least one rocket.
Around four airstrikes were carried out on two resistance sites in southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah.
Three air strikes targeted empty resistance sites west of Khan Younis city, resulting in material damage. No injuries have been reported.
The Israeli warplanes also launched three air strikes on another empty resistance site in Beit Lahia, north of the blockaded Gaza Strip.
The Israeli warplanes continue meanwhile to hover intensively over the besieged coastal enclave.
The strikes come a few hours after the Israeli occupation threatened to act in retaliation for a rocket allegedly fired into Israel from Gaza.
Spokesperson for Interior Ministry Iyad al-Bozm said the ministry has kept tabs on the field situation and that measures have been taken in anticipation of Israeli military escalation.
