Meanwhile, Israeli artillery opened fire on two sites in Khan Younes and Rafah cities, causing extensive damage to surrounding property.
No human casualties were reported in any of the attacks.
Gaza, with a population of 2 million, has been under a hermetic Israeli siege since 2006, when the Palestinian group Hamas won the democratic legislative elections in occupied Palestine. Since then, Israel has carried out numerous bombing campaigns and several major wars, that resulted in the death of thousands of people.
