YOUNIS, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) mounting
tanks and backed by helicopter gunships raided southern Gaza
Strip afternoon Thursday, local sources said.
Local sources told the PIC reporter that IOF troops in ten tanks and a bulldozer raided Khuza’a town to the east of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza Strip.
They said that the soldiers advanced 500 meters into the town and unleashed the bulldozers on a destruction streak as they fired in all directions.
The military choppers took part in the incursion and fired at crops starting fires that destroyed vast tracts of land cultivated with wheat and barley.
