Israeli tanks fired shells at a Hamas post in the Gaza Strip on Monday after troops were shot at on the border with the Palestinian territory, the army said. Shots were fired towards Israeli soldiers by the fence along the largely closed border by unknown assailants, the army said in a statement.
"In response, tanks targeted a Hamas post." Sources close to the Hamas-run interior ministry said the tanks targeted an observation tower near the Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. No casualties were reported on either side. Israel holds Hamas responsible for all violence from the territory and often responds with air or tank strikes. In a separate statement, the Israeli army said it raided an illegal weapons factory in the southern West Bank overnight, arresting two Palestinians and confiscating 12 weapons manufacturing machines.
