Israeli forces staged limited incursions into the besieged Gaza Strip on Thursday morning, locals said.
Eyewitnesses told Ma’an that four Israeli army bulldozers entered private Palestinian lands in the eastern district of Gaza and headed north.
Another four Israeli bulldozers and four tanks staged an incursion near the town of al-Qarara in southern Gaza and razed 50 meters of lands within the border area.
An Israeli surveillance drone was reportedly monitoring the army procedures near al-Qarara.
An Israeli army spokesperson said that they were looking into the reports.
Israeli military incursions inside the besieged Gaza Strip and near the “buffer zone,” which lies on both land and sea sides of Gaza, have long been a near-daily occurrence.
Palestinians who work near the “buffer zone” often come under fire from Israeli military forces, as the authorities have not made clear the precise area of the designated zone.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave.
