Dozens of Israeli attacks on Gaza in August

Dozens of Israeli attacks were recorded in August on the Gaza Strip, according to data collected and published by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR).

According to PCHR, over the course of the month, Israeli forces were responsible for 53 shooting attacks and 24 incidents of shelling inside the “no-go zone” near the border fence and at sea.

In addition, there were four incursions by Israeli forces into the Gaza Strip.

Twenty Palestinians were injured in the course of these various incidents and 17 were detained.
