Gaza: Israeli military vehicles on Tuesday infiltrated the border area in eastern Gaza on Monday, where they leveled agricultural lands, WAFA reported.
Witnesses told WAFA that five Israeli excavators entered the borderline area from the Nahal Oz military outpost, on Gaza-Israel border, and leveled agricultural lands while opening sporadic gunfire indiscriminately.
Meanwhile, Israeli naval boats Tuesday opened their heavy machine guns on Palestinian fishermen, despite sailing within the unilaterally designated allowed fishing zone.
No injuries were reported among the fishermen who apparently fled the scene for fear of being detained, injured, or killed.
