Israeli forces have carried out five airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, eyewitnesses say, but no casualties have been reported so far.
The Israeli air force claimed that its warplanes targeted “an arms factory” in the center of the Palestinian territory and also three tunnels allegedly used for smuggling contraband.
Israel regularly targets the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring Palestinians. Most of the victims are women and children.
The Palestinians of the Gaza Strip are living in what is called the “world's largest open-air prison” as Israel retains full control of the airspace, territorial waters, and border crossings of the territory.
