Protesters run and take cover from teargas fired by Israeli troops near the fence of Gaza border with Israel during a protest east of Khan Younis, southern Gaza, August 25, 2021.
Strikes hit a location used by Hamas’ armed wing, Izz ad Din al Qassam Brigades and a farm, according to an Anadolu Agency reporter, citing witnesses.Israel said it targeted a training field and arms production facility belonging to Hamas in response to fire balloons sent to its territory from Gaza.There were no reports from the Gaza of any casualties caused by the Israeli strikes.
Protests erupted later in the day, with the Israeli army firing tear gas and stun grenades as Palestinians burned tyres on the border between Gaza and Israel, an AFP reporter said.Earlier Saturday, Gazans laid to rest Omar Hassan Abu al Nile, 12, who died of his wounds a week after being shot by Israeli forces at border protests.Citing security threats, Israel keeps Gaza under a blockade, tightly restricting movement in and out of the territory that is home to 2 million Palestinians.
Israeli attacks in the Gaza and West Bank since May 10 have killed at least 289 people, including women and children, and left behind a trail of destruction. Palestinians were killed, including 66 children, and more than 1,900 others injured.
