On Saturday, four Israeli military personnel have been injured by a blast of an explosive device near the Gaza Strip border, according to IDF.

The Israeli forces’ tank has also targeted two of the Hamas’ observation posts, the spokesperson added.

The incident is part of the ongoing escalation of tensions between Israel and Palestine caused by the recent decision of the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
