Israeli artillery shells east of Rafah with no casualties reported

Israeli artillery shelled two security posts east of Rafah southern Gaza Strip on Wednesday in response to what the Israeli side called a mortar attack on an Israeli patrol near the border fence between Israel and the Palestinian enclave.

Israel radio claimed that armed Palestinians fired a shell on the army and Israeli tanks responded by firing a shell on a Palestinian post.

Palestinian sources said the Israeli shelling targeted a post belonging to the Hamas Interior Ministry.

On Tuesday, Palestinian gunmen opened fire at an Israeli patrol near the border fence with no casualties reported.
