Four Palestinian residents were reportedly injured on Sunday after Israeli warplanes rocketed the Albarazil neighborhood in the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah.
Medical sources said that the Abu Yousef Alnajjar hospital received four injuries from the border area of Rafah after midnight.
Witnesses confirmed that the Israeli shelling targeted a number of underground tunnels, used by Palestinians to bring in food supplies and commodities from nearby Egypt. Israel claims the tunnels are used by Hamas to smuggle weapons into Gaza.
In the meantime, a roadside bomb was reportedly exploded on the border area in central Gaza Strip, mainly in the Alqarrara village.
Witnesses said that several Israeli armored vehicles, backed by two helicopters, traded fire in the area with a group of resistance fighters. No further details were reported.
In a related development, Israeli media sources reported that a Palestinian homemade shell was fired yesterday night towards the southern Israeli desert region of Alnaqab, with no causalities reported.
Such developments come as Israeli authorities announced partial reopening of two Gaza crossings out of 6 others to allow some goods shipments into Gaza.
Israel has been enforcing a hermetic closure on Gaza since Hamas took control over the territory in June 2007.
