Gaza City, May 26 (RHC)-- Israeli warplanes have launched two airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in yet another act of aggression against the besieged coastal enclave.  According to Palestinian media reports, the airstrikes hit an area west of Rafah and the Nuseirat refugee camp located in the southern and central Gaza Strip respectively.

No casualties have yet been reported in the attacks that followed alleged reports of a rocket fired at an open area in the western part of the occupied Palestinian territories on Wednesday night.

The Israeli military frequently bombs the Gaza Strip.  The disproportionate force is always used in violation of international law, and civilians are often killed or injured.

In early July 2014, Israel waged a war on the Gaza Strip.  The 50-day military aggression, which ended on August 26, 2014, killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians, including 577 children.  Over 11,100 others -- including 3,374 children, 2,088 women and 410 elderly people -- were also wounded in the war.  Israel continues to carry out attacks on the Palestinian strip from time to time.

Gaza has been blockaded since 2007, a situation that has caused a decline in the standard of living, unprecedented levels of unemployment, and unrelenting poverty.  The apartheid regime of Israel denies about 1.8 million people in Gaza their basic rights, such as freedom of movement, proper job, and adequate health care and education.
