Ramallah, June 16 (RHC)-- At least two Palestinians were killed after Israeli forces attacked the besieged Gaza Strip and the West Bank. According to reports on Sunday, Israeli warplanes carried out multiple strikes on the Gaza Strip, hitting several areas in the besieged territory including the city of Khan Yunis. At least three children have been injured in the attacks.

Zionist troops frequently target Palestinians, particularly along the border. Gaza has been blockaded since June 2007, a situation that has caused a decline in the standards of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment and unrelenting poverty.

The regime of Israel denies about 1.7 million people in Gaza their basic rights, such as freedom of movement, jobs that pay proper wages and adequate healthcare and education.
