Related: About this forumIsraeli bulldozers enter Gaza border area
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Four Israeli bulldozers entered a border area in southern Gaza Thursday and leveled private Palestinian land, witnesses said.
The bulldozers entered into Gaza near the Palestinian village of al-Qarara. The vehicles used the Kisufim border fence gate, located opposite a kibbutz of the same name, to enter the besieged enclave.
Military vehicles accompanying the bulldozers fired shots, with no reports of injuries.
Since the signing of a ceasefire agreement that ended 50 days of fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in Gaza on Aug. 26, the Israeli navy has in at least four instances fired at Gaza fishermen under the pretext that they had surpassed fishing zone limits.

(10,650 posts)1. Typical Israeli provocation. They try to get the Palestinians to react.
Then they'll whine about how the Palestinians broke the ceasefire.
