Medics: Israeli tanks shell Gaza overnight

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli artillery shelling was reported overnight Tuesday in two Gaza districts near the border area, medics told Ma'an.

Gaza medical services spokesman Adham Abu Silmiyya said tanks stationed along the northern border close to the Karni crossing opened fire toward homes, reporting no injuries.

Abu Silmiyya also said tanks opened fire at homes east of the Al-Bureij refugee camp in the Joher Ad-Dik neighborhood, again reporting no injuries.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said the Israeli army was not familiar with either incident.
