Gaza, MINA – Israel was reported to have launched an attack on the Gaza Strip on Sunday, despite being in a ceasefire period with Palestinian fighters that halted the 15-month-long war in the blockaded region.
According to witnesses quoted by Anadolu Agency, an Israeli drone fired two missiles near a car traveling along Al-Rashid Road on the northwest coast of the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. No casualties were reported.
Witnesses stated that the attack caused panic among Palestinian civilians who were using the road to return to their homes in northern Gaza, according to the witnesses.
Zionist Israeli forces were also reported to have fired shots toward Palestinian homes on the eastern side of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza and in eastern Rafah in southern Gaza.
