The Israeli warplanes carried airstrikes in several locations in Gaza including a Hamas naval post in the northern Strip.

Iran PressMiddle East: The Israeli forces have also fired flares over eastern Khan Yunis in southern Gaza enclave early on Thursday.

Media reports say the attacks have not resulted in any casualties yet, according to Xinhua.

Israeli media claim the fresh attacks came after the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, fired rockets on Israeli positions.

Media reports said the rocket attacks had caused panic among Israeli settlers and military forces.

Earlier on Saturday, helicopters, and jets operated by the Israeli regime launched fresh attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip, less than a day after warplanes targeted facilities allegedly belonging to the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas.

Israeli sources said airstrikes late on Saturday targeted Hamas positions in Gaza while tanks were stationed on the border separating the enclave from the occupied Palestinian territories.

On Sunday the Palestinian health ministry said three Palestinians were killed by the Israelis’ overnight attacks.

The increase in Israeli attacks comes as the Israeli regime is preparing for elections. Most Israeli candidates are former high-ranking military officials who have been issuing campaign promises to Israeli voters to wage wars on the Gaza Strip and destroy Palestinian resistance groups.

Hamas officials said on Saturday that Israel’s attacks on Gaza were meant to divert attention from the regime’s embarrassment in the West Bank.

Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, said it would not allow the Israeli regime to use the enclave as a ground to settle its accounts. 205/208
