Medhaj News: Several Israeli Occupation bulldozers entered the southern Gaza Strip on Friday and leveled Palestinian land, locals said.

Bulldozers entered some 150 meters into the al-Qarara area near Khan Younis and razed local land.

The incursion is considered a violation of the ceasefire agreement signed in August.

Last week, four Israeli bulldozers entered the al-Qarara area and demolished private land.

Since the signing of a ceasefire agreement that ended 50 days of fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in Gaza on Aug. 26, the Israeli navy has fired at Gaza fishermen multiple times under the pretext that they had surpassed fishing zone limits.

Israel has severely limited Gaza's imports and exports since 2006, also imposing a no-go buffer zone ranging from 500 to 1,500 meters from the border, an area encompassing 17 percent of Gaza's total land.

The siege has led to frequent humanitarian crises for Gazans, and the UN and various human rights groups have repeatedly called on Israel to lift it.
