TEHRAN (IQNA) – The Zionist regime’s warplanes launched air strikes against targets in the Gaza strip early on Monday.

 

They targeted Palestinian farms in areas located east of Rafah and Khan Yunis cities, Al-Quds reported.

Israeli army spokesman Avichay Adraee claimed that the raids came in response to two rockets launched from the northern Gaza Strip towards an area near the city of Ashdod.

On Saturday, Israeli tanks shelled farms belonging to Palestinians in Khan Yunis.

The Israeli army frequently organizes air strikes on the border areas, where it claims the kites and balloons are prepared.

The Gaza Strip, which has been reeling under a crippling Israeli air, land and sea blockade since 2007, has seven border crossings linking it to the outside world.

Six are controlled by Israel, while the Rafah crossing is controlled by Egypt, which keeps it tightly sealed.
