’Israeli’ Warplanes Launch Strikes on Gaza

Local Editor

The "Israeli" air force early Monday morning launched airstrikes across the Gaza Strip.

Palestinian sources say the air raids struck targets near the cities of Khan Yunis located about 25 kilometers [15 miles] south of Gaza City and Dayr al-Balah over 14 kilometers [8.7 miles] in the coastal enclave.

However, there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the "Israeli" attacks.

The "Israeli" regime claimed the attacks were in response to a rocket fired from Gaza at southern "Israel".

The "Israeli" army frequently launches airstrikes against various areas in Gaza. The coast enclave had been blockaded since June 2007, a situation that had caused a decline in the standards of living and unrelenting poverty.

The "Israeli" regime denies about 1.8 million people in Gaza their basic rights, such as freedom of movement, jobs with proper wages as well as adequate healthcare and education.

In early July 2014, "Israel" waged a war on the Gaza Strip. The 50-day military aggression, which ended on August 26, 2014, martyred 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.
