According to sources, Israel’s target is a civil administration building, a location belonging to a Palestinian armed group and a piece of farmland.

For the second time since last month’s 11-day war ended an unstable ceasefire, Israeli fighter jets have launched a series of air strikes on the Gaza Strip for the second time.

Local Palestinian sources said that Israeli missiles hit several locations of armed groups in northwestern Gaza City and the besieged area north of Beit Lahia on Thursday. In addition to the farmland east of the southern town of Khan Younis, a civil administration building east of Jabaliya in the north was also targeted. There were no reports of casualties.

After the airstrike, Fazi Balhom, a spokesman for the Hamas organization operating the Gaza Strip, said in a statement that “the bombing of resistance sites by the occupation is a demonstration performance by the new Israeli government”, referring to the The Knesset held, and right-wing nationalist Naftali Bennett was sworn in as prime minister.

The statement added: “The resistance movement will pay close attention to defending our people, our people and our holy places.”

Al-Aqsa TV, owned by Hamas, reported that an Israeli drone was shot down west of Gaza City.

Israeli media reported that the army attacked Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip in response to activists in the territory continuing to launch burning balloons.

The military said in a statement that it will “continue to destroy Hamas’s military capabilities and structures and hold it accountable for what happened in the Gaza Strip”.

On Wednesday, Israel also carried out air strikes, targeting allegedly Hamas facilities.

In the 11-day bombing of the Gaza Strip last month, at least 257 Palestinians were killed, including 66 children. On the Israeli side, 13 people, including two children, were killed by rockets fired from Gaza.
