Gaza: Israeli army carries out mock air raids, limited incursion

The Israeli occupation army on Tuesday morning carried out mock aerial attacks on different areas of the Gaza Strip as well as a small-scale incursion into an eastern border area. According to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) reporter in Gaza, several F-16 jet fighters overflew Gaza at low altitudes and carried out mock airstrikes by causing sonic booms and firing missiles into the sea.

Explosions were heard throughout Gaza as a result of these air raids, which are believed to be part of military maneuvers. In a related incident, five Israeli armored bulldozers infiltrated in the morning into a border area east of Khuza’a town, south of Gaza, and embarked on leveling a tract of land. Tanks and other military vehicles were also seen deployed along the borderline of the town in order to provide protection for the bulldozers.
