  Army Carries Out A Limited Invasion Into Rafah

September 13, 2018
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Several armored Israeli military vehicles carried out, on Thursday 
morning, a limited invasion into Palestinian lands near the perimeter 
fence, east of Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

Media sources in Gaza said at least two armored bulldozers, accompanied 
military vehicles, advanced dozens of meters into the Palestinian lands, 
near the Sofa Crossing, east of Rafah.

The sources added that the army bulldozed and leveled Palestinian lands, 
in addition to installing sand hills near the fence.

The invasion was carried out a few hours after the Israeli army said it 
detonated an explosive object close to the fence, near Rafah.

The army issued a statement regarding the incident, and held Hamas 
responsible by claiming that the movement “wants to maintain 
continuation of protests, and tension, in the border area,” and added 
that it is “ready to act against these threats targeting the soldiers 
and the military infrastructures.”
