'Israel' launches aggression on Gaza, Resistance responds
Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that Israeli warplanes launched two airstrikes on the north of the Gaza Strip and the southeast of Gaza City, stressing that explosions are currently heard in Gaza.
The Israeli aggression further pushes the region closer toward a wider confrontation following three days of provocative raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Al-Quds, assaulting Palestinians who are stationed there as part of the religious practice of Itikaf, which is one of the acts of worship during the holy month of Ramadan.
In further detail, the occupation warplanes launched a series of raids on various sites in the Gaza Strip, targeting a site for the Palestinian Resistance in the south of Gaza City and an observatory in the east of the city.
The occupation planes also bombed the sites "Salah Al-Din" and others, as well as agricultural land in Al-Zaytoun neighborhood in southeastern Gaza, while they bombed a Resistance site in the city of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip.
Field sources in Gaza affirmed to Al Mayadeen that all the sites that were targeted by the Israeli aggression are empty or have been evacuated.
