Zionist fighter jets attack Khan Yunis in Gaza Strip (+VIDEO)

Arab media reported on Tuesday morning that an explosion had been heard in the southern Gaza Strip, following the widespread flight of Israeli fighter jets and drones over the area.

Palestinian Shahab news agency reported that Israeli fighter jets targeted the al-Qadisiyah base belonging to Palestinian Resistance groups west of the city of Khan Yunis.

The aircraft, however, had to leave after being confronted by the anti-air defenses of the Hamas movement.

"Our air defenses confronted the occupation's aircraft with surface-to-air missiles at exactly 01:35 this morning," Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the resistance movement, said in a statement.

"Following the rocket fire from the Gaza Strip last night, the Israeli army is targeting some areas in the Gaza Strip," a Zionist media announced. "Al-Qadisiyah base in southern Gaza has been targeted with eight missiles so far."
