Israeli military bulldozers on Wednesday morning infiltrated into a border area to the southeast of the besieged Gaza Strip, seemingly to carry out diggings or level raised areas of land.
A reporter for the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) said that four bulldozers advanced several meters into the eastern border area of Khuza’a town, south of Gaza, amid smoke screens to mask the incursion.
The Israeli occupation army carries out such small-scale incursions into Gaza border areas every once in a while, claiming they are aimed to look for tunnels or to flatten land.

The Israeli occupation army has warned senior government ministers that the situation in the Gaza Strip is incendiary and could lead to a new round of violence with Hamas.
Senior military officials told ministers at Sunday’s briefing for the high-level security cabinet that the Gaza-based Hamas group has no interest in starting another conflict with Israel, but the situation may nonetheless get out of hand, the Israeli TV Channel Two reported on Tuesday.
Ministers told the TV station they were informed by the military of a feeling of despair in Gaza due to the persistent humanitarian crisis there, the failure of the reconciliation deal between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, and the ongoing tensions in recent weeks over Jerusalem after U.S. President Donald Trump recognized the city as the capital of Israel.
The occupation army told the ministers the situation is reminiscent of the tensions on the eve of the 2014 Gaza war, according to the TV report.
In response to the army’s warnings, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the head of the Israel National Security Council to form a plan of action and present it to the security cabinet within three weeks, the report said.

Israeli military bulldozers leveled lands in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, according to locals.
Witnesses told Ma’an News Agency that six Israeli military vehicles, accompanied by bulldozers, raided Gaza east of the Jabaliya refugee camp, in the north, where they leveled lands near the border fence with Israel.
No shootings or injuries were reported.
Israeli military incursions inside the besieged Gaza Strip and near the “buffer zone,” which lies on both land and sea sides of Gaza, have long been a near-daily occurrence.
The Israeli army also regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach the buffer zone, as the authorities have not made clear the precise area of the designated zone.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land, and sea blockade for 10 years.
