Zionist Tanks Fire Shells at Gaza Strip

GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) – The Zionist regime’s tanks have fired shells at Palestinian resistance sites in the central parts of the besieged Gaza Strip, Palestinian reports say.
On Sunday afternoon, the occupying regime’s tanks fired several rockets toward positions belonging to Palestinian resistance movements in the eastern border area of Deir al-Balah City in central blockaded Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Information Center reported.
The regime’s military claimed in a statement that the aggression displayed after an alleged shooting attack conducted from the blockaded enclave at Israeli troopers stationed in the vicinity of settlement of Kissufim.
No injuries were reported in the aggression and the alleged shooting attack from Gaza.
The Zionist regime every so often launches strikes against positions in the blockaded enclave, accusing the resistance groups there of launching rockets.
Gaza has been under land, air and sea blockade by the occupying regime since June 2007, after Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, which has vowed to resist the Zionist regime’s occupation, rose to power in the enclave, where two million people live.
Since then, the regime has been launching incessant aerial attacks on the territory for, what observers call, self-serving reasons. Since imposing the siege, it has also brought Gaza under three wholesale wars, killing thousands of Palestinians in each.
The crippling Gaza blockade has caused a sharp decline in the standard of living as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty in the strip.
