The Israeli army announced on Friday evening that three military posts of the Islamist Hamas, which rules there, had been hit. Earlier, there were clashes between dozens of Palestinians and Israeli soldiers at the border for the sixth day in a row. For the first time in about two years, incendiary balloons were sent to Israel. According to Israeli media reports, they have set several fires in the south of the country.
The Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip said at least 28 Palestinians were injured by gunfire at the border. According to the Israeli army, security forces taking action against the violent riots were previously shot at.
Clashes at the Gaza border have increased recently, fueling fears of a new major conflict. Last week, the army had already carried out airstrikes on a Hamas post after clashes.
In light of the renewed unrest, Israel closed the border to about 17,000 Palestinian workers. More than two million people live in very poor conditions in the Gaza Strip. Hamas, classified as a terrorist organization by the EU, the US and Israel, seized power by force in 2007. Israel subsequently tightened the blockade of the coastal area, which Egypt supported. (SDA)
