Israeli forces carry out limited incursion into Gaza

A number of Israeli tanks and military bulldozers penetrated into the eastern area of Gaza and bulldozed a number of farms, Quds Press reported on Saturday.

While the tanks were stationed behind sand barriers, the military bulldozers moved 100-metres deep inside the farms and razed large quantities of barley and wheat.

Reporters in Gaza confirm that this is the latest in a series of Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement which ended last summer’s 51-day attack on the coastal enclave.

The offensive caused the death of about 2,260 Palestinians and wounded more than 11,000 others.
