GAZA, (PIC)-- The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday morning carried out, amid intensive gunfire, a small-scale incursion into the Gaza Strip, specifically east of Al-Bureij refugee camp. Eyewitnesses told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that about six military bulldozers escorted by tanks crossed the borderline and embarked on leveling agricultural lands belonging to citizens. They noted that several tanks were deployed near Gaza Valley while Israeli warplanes were seen overflying the area to provide aerial protection for the invading ground forces. The IOF escalated its limited incursions lately into Gaza territory violating its Egyptian-sponsored truce agreement with the Hamas-affiliated government.
