Israeli occupation’s vehicles infiltrate the north and south of Gaza strip
OCCUPIED AL-QUDS, Jan.18, (ST)- Israeli occupation’s vehicles infiltrated on Tuesday Gaza’s border, north of the town of Beit Lahia, according to WAFA News Agency.
The agency reported that 9 Israeli tanks moved forwards for several dozens of meters to the north of Beit Lahia, leveling borderline farmlands.
It added that 7 other tanks breached the border, east of the town of Khuza’a, east of the southern strip city of Khan Younes, razing farmlands and combing the area.
Israeli occupation still controls Gaza’s land borders and has access to the sea and airspace.
Two million Palestinians live in the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a punishing and crippling Israeli blockade for 12 years and repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the strip’s infrastructures.
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 remains occupied territory, having no control over its borders, territorial waters or airspace.
Every two in three Palestinians in Gaza is a refugee from lands inside the occupied Palestine and they are deprived from exercising their right to return because they are not Jews.
