GAZA, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Tuesday advanced into eastern Gaza city amidst indiscriminate shooting but no casualties were reported, local sources told the PIC reporter.

They added that four IOF tanks escorting four bulldozers advanced about 300 meters into Juhr Al-Deek southeast of Gaza city while opening intensive fire at residential neighborhoods.

The sources said that the bulldozers damaged cultivated land lots before withdrawing form the area.

In the West Bank, IOF soldiers rounded up four citizens at dawn Tuesday.

This is a blog about Gaza farmers, workers and all the civilian population living in Gaza Strip rural communities along the Green Line, suffering from daily Israeli attacks and resisting the implementation of a so called "buffer zone" by the Israeli Occupation Forces.

Attacks on resistance fighters, or attacks, usually airstrikes on civilians further inside the Gaza Strip, or along the Egypt border (apart from the eastern areas such as Al Shoka or the airport area) are usually not mentioned.
