Local Editor

"Israeli" forces resumed attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip Monday evening, injuring two Palestinians, after injuring a Palestinian earlier Monday in a series of "Israeli" army airstrikes in northern Gaza, in response to a rocket that landed in an open area in the "Ashkelon" region of the "Israeli" entity's southern region Monday morning.

Witnesses said that at least eight "Israeli" missiles were fired at several locations across the besieged coastal enclave.

One airstrike hit agricultural land in the center of Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip. A spokesman of the Gaza Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qidra confirmed that two people were injured in Khan Yunis.

According to locals, the airstrikes hit an agricultural area east of Gaza City in the northern Gaza Strip, in addition to the al-Shujaiyya neighborhood in Gaza City, causing damages to several residential buildings.

The air strikes also hit agricultural lands east of al-Maghazi and al-Bureij refugee camps in the central Gaza Strip.

Palestinian factions released statements warning of the consequences of the ongoing "Israeli" attacks on the coastal enclave.

A spokesman of Hamas movement Hazim Qasim said the current escalation represented "a new chain in the series of ongoing ‘Israeli' occupation's assaults against the Palestinian people and the Gaza Strip."

In its statement, the Islamic Jihad movement said that "Palestinian resistance holds the ‘Israeli' occupation responsible for the ongoing and future attacks on the Gaza Strip."

"Israeli" army officials allege that the ongoing attacks on the Gaza strip are in response to a rocket fired by Hamas in Gaza.

The officials had further accused the group of "preparing" for another war with the "Israeli" entity.

However, the movement had not officially claimed responsibility for any military action from Gaza against the "Israeli" entity since the 2014 war.
