GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) – Palestinian sources say several Zionist battle tanks, escorting bulldozers, have entered the central part of the besieged Gaza Strip, and fired a number of shots at Palestinians gathering to stop the ravaging of farms.
The sources, speaking anonymously, said four tanks and two armored bulldozers belonging to the Zionist regime advanced more than 150 meters into farming lands east of the Bureij refugee camp on Wednesday morning, and bulldozed them while unmanned aerial vehicles flew overhead, the International Middle East Media Center reported.
They added that the soldiers also fired many live rounds to keep Palestinian farmers out of their own lands during the invasion.
The Zionist regime launched its latest war on the Gaza Strip in early July 2014. The 50-day military aggression, which ended on August 26, 2014, killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians, including 577 children. Over 11,100 others — including 3,374 children, 2,088 women and 410 elderly people — were also wounded in the war.
The occupying regime continues to carry out attacks on the Palestinian enclave from time to time.
Zionist troops target Palestinian lands in the northern and eastern parts of the blockaded Palestinian coastal sliver on a rather regular basis, preventing farmers from working on their own lands.
The Zionist regime’s fighter jets also frequently bomb the Gaza Strip. The Zionist regime’s military also uses drones over the impoverished terrain either to monitor and photograph Palestinian military units in the blockaded coastal enclave, or launch aerial attacks against targets.
The Gaza Strip has been under a Zionist siege since June 2007. The blockade has caused a decline in the standards of living as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty.
