Arabic-language Palestine al-Yawm news agency reported that an artillery round struck an observation posts belonging to the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas resistance movement, east of Bureij refugee camp on Tuesday.
An Israeli army spokesman confirmed Israeli tanks bombed a Hamas monitoring post in the southern Gaza Strip after a group of Palestinians allegedly crossed the border fence between Gaza and the occupied territories.
The occupied territories have witnessed new tensions ever since US President Donald Trump on December 6, 2017 announced Washington's recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s “capital” and said the US would move its embassy to the city.
Muslim leaders have called for an international force to be deployed to protect Palestinian people against Israeli crimes.
The Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli siege since June 2007.
