12:00 Sep 19 2014 Al-Qarara

Description
Israeli forces entered the outskirts of Khan Younis, southern Gaza, this morning to complete what they called "security activity" at the barrier around the Strip, eye witnesses reported.

Witnesses said: "Four Israeli bulldozers set off this morning from Kissufim military base, and penetrated 100 meters east of the town of Al-Qarara, north of Khan Yunis."

According to witnesses, the bulldozers dredged agricultural land near the town before leaving.

Israeli Army Radio quoted unnamed military sources as saying that the Israeli army this morning carried out "security activity" by examining the border area with Khan Yunis.

The incursion is the third on the borders of the Gaza Strip since the signing of the ceasefire agreement between the Palestinians and Israel on August 26, brokered by Egypt, after the Israeli war which lasted 51 days.

Over the past two weeks, Israel has carried out similar activities on the outskirts of the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip.
