Iran Press/ Middle East: The Israeli military said in a brief statement on its twitter account in the early hours of Saturday that an Israeli “attack helicopter targeted a Hamas military post in southern Gaza.”
The Israeli military also said its airstrike against the Palestinian resistance movement was “in response” to an alleged rocket fire from Gaza into the occupied territories on Friday night that fell in an open area and caused no casualties or damage, Iran Press reported.
Tel Aviv bombards Gaza from time to time, claiming the assaults are in response to rocket attacks of the resistance groups.
Meanwhile, on Friday, a young Palestinian protester was killed and two others, including a medic, were wounded by Israeli troops’ live rounds east of the city of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Gaza Strip has been witnessing tensions since March 30, which marked the start of the "Great March of Return" protests demanding the right to return for the Palestinians driven out of their homeland.
Up until now, at least 240 unarmed Palestinian protesters have been shot and martyred by the Zionist military, with a further 24,500 being injured. Also two Israeli soldiers have been killed.
Israeli soldiers and snipers use 'live rounds' against unarmed peaceful protesters, something which has been widely condemned by the international community. 101/ 211 / 202
