Israeli tanks fired shells at a Hamas post in the Gaza Strip yesterday 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 and Hamas have observed a tense ceasefire since the end of their last conflict in August 2014.
