Israeli warplanes, gunships strike multiple targets in Gaza Strip

Israeli fighter jets and attack helicopters have struck multiple targets in the southern Gaza Strip in their latest air raids against the besieged enclave.

According to Press TV, there were no immediate reports of casualties caused by the Israeli strikes carried out on Wednesday night. 

According to Palestinian media reports, several posts belonging to Hamas resistance forces in the south of the coastal enclave were hit, including one in the Khan Yunis seafront and another outside the city.

Some of the sites hit are believed to belong to Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas.

Tel Aviv’s airstrikes come as Palestinians have held weekly protests on the Gaza border since last year over the siege on the enclave and the right for refugees to return to their homes they were forcibly expelled from during the 1948 creation of Israel.

More than 260 Palestinians have been martyred by Israeli forces ever since anti-occupation protest rallies began in the Gaza Strip on March 30, 2018. Over 26,000 Palestinians have also sustained injuries.
