Muawiya Hassanein, the head of emergency services in Gaza, said that three young men were wounded by Israeli tank shells during an invasion of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military confirmed the invasion, stating that its troops were on a “routine patrol” along the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel when they saw what they said were Palestinian resistance fighters near the border. They then launched an invasion and fired tank shells at Palestinians near the border.
The Popular Resistance Committees, a Palestinian resistance group, confirmed that one of its fighters had escaped being killed in the attack. The identity of the three men who were injured is unknown, and no other resistance group has claimed that the other two men were members of any group.
The invasion is the second this week, at a time when Palestinian factions have been trying to re-negotiate a truce that had been in place for six months until Israel launched a series of wide-scale attacks over the previous two weeks. Israeli forces had violated the truce on a weekly basis prior to the most recent attacks, while Palestinians in Gaza remained under a full siege, lacking power, food, medicine and fuel. |
