Two Palestinians have lost their lives when Israeli military aircraft launched a new round of airstrikes against the besieged Gaza Strip as the Tel Aviv regime presses ahead with its acts of aggression against the impoverished Palestinian coastal sliver.
The spokesman for the Gaza Ministry of Health, Ashraf al-Qidra, said in a statement that two people were killed while three others, including a woman, sustained injuries in the airstrike.
He identified the two deceased Palestinians as 32 year-old police officers Salameh Majid al-Nadim and Ala' Ziad al-Gharabli.
Moreover, the Gaza-based Ministry of Interior and National Security stated that the incident happened at the al-Dahdouh junction in the southern part of the Gaza City.
The strike came hours after an Israeli fighter jet targeted a position of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement in the central part of the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli army said “the aircraft bombed a Hamas observation post east of Juhor ad-Dik (village) in the central Gaza Strip.”
There were no immediate reports of casualties and the extent of damage caused.
The military claimed that the strike was carried out after four rockets were fired toward the Israeli-occupied territory. Only one of the rockets reached the area, while the other three appear to have exploded within the Gaza Strip, it added.
The Israeli military frequently bombs the Gaza Strip, with civilians being the main target of such attacks.
Israel has also launched several wars on the Palestinian coastal sliver, the last of which began in early July 2014. The military aggression, which ended on August 26, 2014, killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians. Over 11,100 others were also wounded in the war.
The Gaza Strip has been under an Israeli siege since June 2007. The blockade has caused a decline in the standards of living as well as unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty.
The Israeli regime denies about 1.8 million people in Gaza their basic rights, such as freedom of movement, jobs with proper wages as well as adequate healthcare and education.

Beit Lahia
Israel has launched fresh airstrikes against the Gaza Strip and a region in Lebanon near the Syrian border, using its warplanes and unmanned aerial vehicles, respectively.
Three Israeli drone attacks hit a central region of Bekaa governorate in eastern Lebanon near the border with Syria on Sunday night, allegedly targeting the positions of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
The group, however, says the attack has failed to target its posts. An official from the military position belonging to the Palestinian group in the town of Qousaya said the three drone attacks caused only material damage.
"MK planes (drones) targeted one of our sites with three small rockets. There were no casualties, only material damage," Abu Muhammad told Lebanon's An-Nahar newspaper.
The drone attacks came one day after two Israeli drones crashed in a southern neighborhood of Beirut.
The Lebanese Resistance Movement, Hezbollah, said the first drone had fallen on a building housing Hezbollah’s media office in Beirut’s Dahieh suburb. The second drone, which appeared to have been sent by Israel to search for the first one, had crashed in an empty plot nearby after being detonated in the air, it added.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Sunday warned Israel against violating the Lebanese airspace, saying fighters from the movement will counter any further breaches by Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles.
Also on Sunday, Israeli fighter jets launched airstrikes on the city of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip. There is no report of casualties as of yet.

Israeli media reported that three rockets have been fired from Gaza toward the occupied territories, two of which were allegedly intercepted, while the third landed in an open area near a main highway in the south of the territories, sparking a fire. video
Gaza has been under Israeli siege since June 2007, which has caused a decline in living standards.
Israel has also launched three major wars against the enclave since 2008, killing thousands of Gazans each time and shattering the impoverished territory’s already poor infrastructure.

Israeli warplanes target Palestinian site deep inside Lebanon
Israeli warplanes targeted a Palestinian group’s site in Lebanon, near the Syrian borders, in the early morning hours of Monday.
The Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli warplanes carried out an airstrike on a site belonging to the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine- General Command (PFLP-GC) in the town of Qusaya in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon.
An official from the PFLP-GC site said that the Israeli airstrikes caused only material damage.
NNA added that three explosions were overheard in Beqaa, which later turned out be three strikes that targeted the aforementioned site.
The strike caused damages to the site, with no human casualties reported, however.
This came just hours after Israel bombed a site in the northern besieged Gaza Strip in retaliation for rockets launched from the besieged coastal enclave toward southern Israel on Sunday evening.
