An Israeli military spokeswoman told Ma'an that the Israeli army "identified armed Palestinians digging in the ground in the central Gaza Strip and an IDF aircraft fired toward suspects."
Locals said the fire targeted agricultural land near Qarara and the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, causing fear and panic among residents, with no injuries reported. Witnesses said the aircraft included helicopters, with Israel's Army Radio confirming reports.
Witnesses further said that Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip has increased over the past two weeks, when two Israeli soldiers were killed during clashes with Palestinian operatives in southern Gaza, near the border with Israel.
Meanwhile, Hamas spokesman Ahmad Taha told the BBC on Sunday that the de facto government is "working to curb Gaza rocket attacks."
Deposed Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh further said "we are contacting the other Palestinian factions in order to reach an internal consensus as to the measures we may take in order to protect our people and strengthen our unity," according to the BBC.
