RIYADH – Israeli warplanes have carried out several airstrikes on the besieged Gaza Strip amid escalating tensions in the occupied territories following US recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s so-called capital.
The Israeli aerial assaults hit positions belonging to Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, early on Monday.
According to Palestinian sources, the air raids hit Qassam’s al-Bahariya position in al-Waha area, northwest of Beit Lahia, and Asqalan position in northern Gaza.
Qassam position in al-Sudaniya in northwestern Gaza was also bombed during the air raids.
No casualties have been reported.
A spokesperson for the Israeli army said in a statement that the regime’s warplanes targeted a training camp in northern Gaza, claiming that the attack destroyed six separate facilities belonging to Hamas.
