RNA - WAFA said that an Israeli fighter jet pounded several locations, Northeast of Beit Lahia town, causing property damage.

 

Missiles also struck a transmission tower atop a building at the al-Nada neighborhood in Beit Hanun city in the Northern coastal enclave. No injuries were reported though.

 

These strikes came purportedly after a rocket was fired from Gaza at Southern Israel.

 

Israeli forces frequently bomb the besieged coastal enclave using disproportionate force in violation of international law.

 

In July 2014, Israel carried out a deadly onslaught on the strip, claiming the lives of over 2,200 people, overwhelmingly civilians, injuring over 11,100 others and flattening whole neighborhoods, displacing about 475,000 Palestinians.

 

Israel has placed a tightened blockade on Gaza since 2007 after Hamas took over power in the strip, denying about 1.8 million population their basic rights and as a result causing a decline in their standard of living, unprecedented rates of unemployment and poverty.
