Israeli forces have renewed their attacks on Gaza.
At 08.40 this-morning Israeli Forces were firing from the border towards Kissufim, Khan Younis.
This morning’s attacks follow four Israeli aggressions overnight.
The Israeli Air Force (IAF) carried out two airstrikes, one which targeted an open area in Rafah, and the other a ‘military training base’ in Khan Younis.
Another IAF aircraft directed heavy machine-gun fire towards the south-east of Deir Al-Balah in the Middle Area.
IAF also attacked the east of Zeitoun, in Gaza City.
The latest attacks are a disproportionate response to shots fired from Gaza towards Yad Mordechai settlement at 8pm last night, causing no injuries.
