KHAN YOUNIS, (PIC)--

Israeli occupation army choppers and tanks shelled a Palestinian house in Abasan Al-Jadida east of Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, on Thursday, local sources reported.

They said that the choppers fired three missiles and opened heavy machinegun fire at the house at a time the tanks, stationed on the border strip, fired a number of shells at it.

The sources said that casualties were suffered but Adham Abu Salmiya, the coordinator of medical services, denied in a statement to the PIC the presence of any casualties.

He said, however, that the situation was dangerous and no medical crews could reach the house because of the continued Israeli targeting of it.
