GAZA, (ST) – Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday infiltrated into Gaza’s border, to the east of al-Maghazi and al-Bureij refugee camps, and razed farmlands, according to Wafa News Agency.
The agency said that the three military tanks and three bulldozers advanced several dozens of meters to the east of the camps in the central besieged strip, and razed a large tract of farmland in the area.
Two million Palestinians live the Gaza Strip, which has been under siege for 12 years and repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the enclave’s infrastructure.
Gaza’s 2-million population remains under “remote control” occupation and a strict siege, which has destroyed the local economy, strangled Palestinian livelihoods, plunged them into unprecedented rates of unemployment and poverty, and cut off from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and the wider world.
Gaza is an occupied territory, having no control over its borders, territorial waters or airspace.
