Israeli settler: Palestinian resistance fighters roaming streets

An Israeli Jewish settler from Kibbutz Be’eri near the Gaza Strip told Israeli Channel 12 that Palestinian fighters are on the streets.

Speaking to Channel 12, Jewish settler Dvir Efrat said that she does not dare raise her voice above a whisper and that she is barricaded in her home with a knife.“I can hear gunfire,” she says.

Palestinian resistance sources said that Al Qassam fighters managed to infiltrate several illegal Israeli settlements near Gaza and attacked settlers and troops.

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation army have asked settlers not to open their doors or leave their homes fearing attacks by the Palestinian fighters.

The Israel occupation forces closed roads near the eastern fence of the Gaza Strip as the Palestinian operation is still going on.

The Zikim beach on the Gaza border is also closed off, and trains will not run between Ashkelon and Sderot, the Israeli occupation army said.
