GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) – An Israeli fighter jet has targeted a position of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement in the northern part of the besieged Gaza Strip as the Tel Aviv regime presses ahead with its acts of aggression against the impoverished Palestinian coastal sliver.
An unnamed Israeli military spokeswoman said "the aircraft struck a post belonging to Hamas adjacent to the border fence in the northern Gaza Strip last night.”
She alleged that the strike was in response to kite-borne fire bombings by Gaza-based resistance fighters.
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, said in a statement that a border observation post was hit in the attack, and that nobody was injured.
Local sources said the Zionist regime’s F-16 fighter jet bombed a site in Beit Lahia city, causing damage to the site and fear among residents, especially children.
The spokesman for the Gaza Ministry of Health, Ashraf al-Qidra, said in a statement on April 14 that the Zionist regime’s tanks had targeted a group of civilians in al-Awdah refugee camp east of Rafah city, located 30 kilometers south of Gaza City, leaving four Palestinian men dead and several others injured.
He identified three of those killed as Ayed Saleh al-Hamaydeh, Amjad Hosni al-Qatros and Hisham Mohammed Abdelal.
On April 11, the regime’s battle tanks targeted several positions of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement in the Gaza Strip.
In another incident, at least six members of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement were killed and six others injured in an explosion that rocked the Gaza Strip.
The Health Ministry in Gaza said that the explosion took place on Saturday in Dayr al-Balah, a city located in the central Gaza Strip.
The injured and the bodies of the deceased were transferred to a hospital following the blast, the ministry added. The reason for the explosion is still unknown.
