Israeli military vehicles breached the Gaza border on Thursday morning, reaching 200 meters inside the central region near the Deir Al-Balah neighborhood.By early afternoon, families near the Al-Musaddar area northeast of Deir Al-Balah said the bulldozers had demolished two homes and large swaths of olive groves.
They remained in the area until late in the afternoon.
The Chinese press agency Xinhua cited Gaza security sources as claiming that militants set off explosives near an Israeli army vehicle as four Israeli tanks and a bulldozer entered the Strip. The agency reported clashes. Residents told Ma'an they heard an explosion, reportedly an anti-tank shell, shortly before the bulldozers were seen.
Members of the Ibin Said family told Ma’an by phone that Israeli forces demolished two houses on the outskirts of Al-Masaddar. They said the homes belonged to Mu’een Ali Ibn Said and Salem Suleiman Ibin Said. According to Xinhua, the homes were at least 900 meters inside the Gaza Strip.
The family reported the destruction of chicken coups, as well.
An Israeli military spokesman said he had no knowledge of military activity in the area.
