Zionist Warplanes Attack Gaza
GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s warplanes have carried out an air raid striking different positions in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The occupying regime’s army spokesman Avichay Adraee claimed on Twitter that the raids late on Tuesday hit a purported tunnel belonging to the Palestinian resistance group Hamas. The tunnels are lifelines to take food and other essential data-x-items to the besieged impoverished territory.
Palestinian witnesses on the ground rejected the Zionist regime’s narrative, saying two agricultural areas in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah were hit by three missiles.
The impoverished and densely populated Gaza Strip has been under a crippling blockade by the Zionist regime since 2007.
In another development, the Palestinian Authority urged the European Union to impose sanctions against Israel in response to the settlement construction in the Palestinian territories, a senior official said on Wednesday.
"Meetings will be held with European officials this week, in order to activate what was issued by European powers denouncing the Israeli settlement activities,” Abdul Rahim al-Farra, the Palestinian ambassador to the EU, told the official Palestinian radio station Voice of Palestine.
"We will demand the EU to impose sanctions against Israel because it has not stopped its settlement activities, and it only understands the language of sanctions,” he added.
Last Friday, major European powers issued a statement condemning the occupying regime’s approval of building thousands of new settlement units in the occupied Palestinian territories.
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Spain called on the regime to stop its settlement activities and abide by the UN Security Council Resolution 2334.
