GAZA, (PIC)-- A preliminary report issued by the Palestinian ministry of public works and housing stated that the Israeli random shelling of Deir Al-Balah town in central Gaza at an early hour Monday caused damage to more than 300 homes and destroyed six others.
The ministry noted that at the first moment of the Israeli military aggression on the area, it sent its crews and vehicles to assist the civil defense workers and paramedics to save the wounded citizens.
The ministry added that it listed all homes that were damaged or destroyed and promised to work on strengthening the pillars and foundations of some houses.
Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, for its part affirmed Tuesday that the explosion that took place in Deir Al-Balah town was a cowardly act aimed at assassinating some of its field commanders.
In another context, Palestinian minister of agriculture Mohamed Al-Agha stressed Sunday that the farmers' right to compensation cannot be dropped by prescription, noting that the kind of assistance provided by the government in Gaza is not more than relief aid.
This came during his visit along with a number of Palestinian lawmakers, heads of municipal councils and dignitaries to Al-Shawka border area in Rafah city to participate in a campaign to plant 1,000,000 olive trees.
Agha also promised to plant all agricultural lands which were bulldozed or destroyed by Israel during its repeated attacks on Gaza with almond and olive trees, saying this is the least the government can do compared to the steadfastness of Gaza farmers.
