According to the local reports, at least two artillery projectiles targeted two observation posts belonging to the Palestinian resistance in the east of Deir al-Balah city (central Gaza) and the east of Fakhari town (southern Gaza).

The sites sustained material damage in the Zionist army’s shelling.

A spokesman for the zionist occupation army said that tanks shelled sites belonging to Hamas in response to the ongoing launch of incendiary balloons across the border, which sparked wildfires in southern occupied Palestine.

The recent sporadic skirmishes between Gazan youths and zionist occupation soldiers near the border and the repeated balloon launches are linked to popular demands for an end to the crippling zionist siege on Gaza.

Meanwhile, the zionist occupation regime ignores Palestinian calls for ending its blockade on Gaza in return for calm, and insists on “calm in return for calm.”

The zionist occupation regime has always failed to honor previous ceasefire pledges to ease the Gaza siege.
