Israeli warplanes Sunday evening stroke two sites to the southeast of the city of Gaza, according to WAFA correspondent. video video
He confirmed that Israeli fighter jets fired at least five rockets at a site and an agricultural land to the east of al-Zaytoon neighbrohood, setting on it fire and causing properties damages.
He added that the Israeli artillery fired two shells at another plot of agricultural land to the northeast of the al-Shejaiya neighborhood. video
No human casualties were reported, however.
Israel claimed the round of airstrikes in the war-battered strip came in retaliation to a rocket fire from the enclave.
Fourteen years following the Israeli “disengagement” from Gaza, Israel has not actually disengaged from Gaza; it still maintains control of its land borders, access to the sea and airspace.
Two million Palestinians live the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a punishing and crippling Israeli blockade for 12 years and repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the enclave’s infrastructure.
Gaza’s 2-million population remains under “remote control” occupation and a strict siege, which has destroyed the local economy, strangled Palestinian livelihoods, plunged them into unprecedented rates of unemployment and poverty, and cut off from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and the wider world.
Gaza remains occupied territory, having no control over its borders, territorial waters or airspace. Meanwhile, Israel upholds very few of its responsibilities as the occupying power, failing to provide for the basic needs of Palestinian civilians living in the territory.
Every two in three Palestinians in Gaza is a refugee from lands inside what is now Israel. That government forbids them from exercising their right to return as enshrined in international law because they are not Jews.
