Israeli drones struck at noontime Thursday two groups of Palestinian youths north of the blockaded Gaza Strip with three missiles.
Local sources said an Israeli drone fired a missile toward a group of Gazans gathering east of Jabalia town, north of the blockaded Gaza Strip. No injuries were reported.
Another Israeli drone targeted a group of Palestinians northeast of Beit Hanun, north of the Gaza Strip, with two missiles.
The missiles were dropped allegedly in response to kites and incendiary balloons flown from Gaza over recent days.
Incendiary kites and balloons have been launched into Israeli communities bordering the Gaza Strip since the outbreak of the Great March of Return protests, launched on March 30 at the Gaza border to call for Palestinians’ right of return to their motherland.
Gaza has been blockaded by Israel and Egypt for over a decade, preventing vital supplies reaching Palestinians there.
The 11-year-long Israeli blockade has long prevented the Gaza Strip from receiving much needed humanitarian aid, including foodstuff, medical equipment, and clean water.
Since protests began on March 30 at the Gaza border, protesters have been violently disbanded by the Israeli army. At least 139 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli gunfire.
The majority of those killed were non-violent protestors, as well as journalists, bystanders and paramedics. Only a small number were seeking to breach or damage the border fence, although they too were unarmed. No Israelis have been killed.
