The "Israeli" air force conducted 50 airstrikes in the Gaza Strip late Sunday night, injuring at least five Palestinians, after a rocket fired from Gaza fell inside the "Israeli" settlement of Sderot, with no injuries or damage reported by the "Israeli" regime's army.

«Israel» Strikes 50 Times in Gaza, Hamas Holds Tel Aviv Responsible

Reports of an air raid over Beit Hanoun emerged at around 10:30 p.m., with shelling from "Israeli" planes reportedly injuring two Palestinians, although there were no immediate details on the severity of their wounds.

Earlier in the day, spokesman for the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip Ashraf al-Qidra announced that a young Palestinian man in his twenties was injured as a result of an "Israeli" artillery shelling in Beit Hanoun near the Erez crossing.

Local sources later said that two other Palestinians were also injured, though the details remained unclear.

An "Israeli" army spokesperson confirmed in a statement that both the "Israeli" air force and artillery tanks targeted what they alleged to be two Hamas posts in northern Gaza on Sunday afternoon.

An "Israel" air force plane was used to strike the first target, while an "Israeli" tank was used to attack the second, according to the "Israeli" regime's army.

Eyewitnesses pointed out that a rocket fired by an "Israeli" drone hit a water reservoir and another shell landed in an open area in Beit Hanoun.

The missiles were fired minutes after the "Israeli" army alleged that a rocket was launched from the Gaza Strip and hit Sderot.

The Palestinian Information Center later reported that a "Palestinian citizen was injured in the face" by shrapnel of an artillery shell.

Rocket sirens were sounded in Sderot and nearby settlements bordering the Gaza Strip at 2:25 p.m. "Israeli" police later arrived to the scene where the rocket landed and closed off the area, an "Israeli" police spokesperson said in a statement.

For his part, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said: "We hold ['Israel'] responsible for the escalation in the Gaza Strip and we stress that its aggression will not succeed in breaking the will of our people and dictate terms to the resistance."

"The escalation shows 'Israel's' desire to change the status quo in the Gaza Strip," he added.

More than 2,100 Palestinians, mostly civilians, were martyred during the 2014 Gaza conflict.

In May, a Palestinian woman was martyred during several consecutive days of sustained airstrikes and tank shelling from "Israeli" forces, allegedly in response to cross-border mortar shelling and a rocket being fired from the Gaza Strip.
