JERUSALEM\/GAZA, May 15 (NNN-XINHUA) – Israel last night, bombarded a bank in Gaza city, the Israeli military and Hamas said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Fighter jets struck a multi-story building in the northern Gaza Strip, which contained a branch of a bank,” an Israeli military spokesperson said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the army, the strike “dealt a significant blow to Hamas’ financial administration,” as the branch was used for managing the day-to-day cash flow of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Hamas-run interior ministry said, in a short text message sent to reporters, that, Israeli warplanes bombed a five-storey building in western Gaza city, which included the office of the Production Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eyewitnesses said, the Israeli warplanes fired at least three missiles at the bank. It is the third Hamas bank office destroyed by Israeli fighter jets, in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tension between Israel and Hamas has been flaring up since last Monday, leaving 122 Palestinians, including women and children, and nine Israelis killed, according to Palestinian and Israeli official figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Palestinian sources said, the contacts to reach calm between the two sides have so far failed, adding, Egypt, Qatar and the United Nations lead the truce mediation.– NNN-XINHUA <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
