Iran Press/ Middle East: The Israeli army said that its tanks had hit a number of positions belonging to the Hamas resistance movement in Gaza early on Sunday morning.
The shelling, it claimed, came hours after five rockets were fired at the southern occupied lands from Gaza and triggered sirens in Eshkol regional council, Press TV reported.
A spokesperson for the Eshkol regional council claimed the rockets had landed in open territory and no casualties or damage had been reported.
The new Israeli act of aggression follows the regime’s deadly crackdown on a mass protest in Gaza on Saturday, which marked the anniversary of the Great March of Return and the Palestinian Land Day.
The Gaza Health Ministry confirmed that three 17-year-old Palestinian teenagers were martyred, 316 others were injured during the demonstration. Another Palestinian was also shot and martyred early on Saturday morning near Gaza's border fence before the rally.
The Tel Aviv regime carries out regular attacks on the Gaza Strip, often claiming it is hitting positions belonging to Hamas. The coastal strip has been under a crippling siege by Israel since 2007 and has been subjected to three Israeli wars since 2008.
Gaza has also witnessed tensions since March 30, 2018, which marked the start of the March of Return protests, during which participants have been demanding the right to return for those Palestinians driven out of their homeland due to various forms of Israeli aggression. 105/211/201
