’Israel’ Deploys Iron Dome Missile near Gaza Border

Local Editor

The "Israeli" army has reportedly deployed two Iron Dome missile batteries to fortify the Zionist entity's southern border.

According to "Israeli" media, "the batteries were placed near the settlements of "Netivot" and "Beersheba"."

The deployment of the batteries is preceded by Wednesday's "Israeli" aggression on the Gaza strip.

The "Israeli" military said it acted after its troops came under fire from a Palestinian sniper while they were on the "Israeli" side of the border fence.

"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "We will retaliate forcefully every time there is an attempt to disrupt the calm obtained in the south after Operation Protective Edge. Our policy is clear - a determined and aggressive response against any attempt to disrupt the calm."

Hamas blamed the Zionist entity for the recent aggression.

"The "Israeli" occupation is responsible for the tension east of Khan Yunis. They tried to cross the border, provoking a response from Hamas," spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said.
