Limited IOF Incursion north the As-Siafa area in Beit Lahiya

2-1-2011

In the morning hours on Sunday 2 January 2011, ten Israeli tanks accompanied by armored bulldozers moved, amid sporadic fire, about 300 meters into the north of the As-Saifa area, which is located northwest of Beit Lahyia town, in North Gaza District. The Israeli bulldozers leveled the land that had been frequently razed in the past. The bulldozers also dug several deep holes before they withdrew from the area at approximately 2:30pm on the same day. No casualties or injuries were reported in this incursion.

About this blog

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.

Note: this blog is focusing on Israeli attacks on civilians inside or around the so called "buffer zone". 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.
