Israeli warplanes bombed a tunnel allegedly linking the southern Gaza Strip with Israel early on Friday morning.
Also on Friday, witnesses in Gaza said Israeli military vehicles, including three armored bulldozers, razed farmland about 100 meters east of Gaza City. Israeli forces also reportedly fired on houses in the area.
The overnight strike took place in the town of Al-Khuza’a, close to the Green Line. Medical officials at An-Nasser Hospital in the nearby city of Khan Younis said that while the strike caused a state of panic among residents of the area, there were no physical injuries.
According to the Israeli military, the tunnel was dug from a building 1.5 kilometers from the Green Line, although this could not be verified. The military also said the strike was a response to mortar shells that were fired from northern Gaza on Thursday night.
Israeli news reports said that five mortar shells were fired from Gaza, landing in an open area.
