Israeli tanks and bulldozers have once again carried out an incursion into central besieged Gaza Strip, Press TV reports.
An area bordering the Palestinian Bureij refugee camp was the target of Israeli forces. No injuries have been reported so far.
The Israelis reportedly fired machineguns and destroyed Palestinian farmland.
Reports say Israelis in the area also threw smoke bombs.
On May 13, an Israeli incursion was carried into the Palestinian-owned lands in the town of Beit Hanoun in northeastern Gaza Strip.
Israel has carried out a number of incursions into Gaza in the past weeks, including three airstrikes on the southern town of Khan Younis and near the town of Rafah in southern Gaza in late April.
Last November, Israel launched the so-called Operation Pillar of Defense I against Gaza. Over 160 Palestinians, including women and children, were killed and about 1,200 others were injured and more than 1,500 targets were hit across the Palestinian enclave during the eight-day war.
In retaliation, Palestinian resistance fighters fired rockets and missiles into Israeli cities, killing at least five Israelis. The offensive ended after Egypt brokered a truce between Hamas and Israel.
According to a Hamas spokesman, Israel's eight-day aggression against the Gaza Strip caused more than USD 1.2 billion in direct and indirect damages.
