Gaza, March 30 (Xinhua) -- Israeli army tanks stationed on the border between eastern Gaza Strip and Israel struck on Friday night two military posts of the Islamic Hamas movement in southern and northern Gaza Strip, causing no injuries, according to local media reports.

The Gaza-based Al-Quds Radio reported that the Israeli army tanks fired a tank shell at a lookout post that belongs to Hamas militants east of central Gaza Strip close to the border with Israel.

Another Israeli army tank fired a second shell at another Hamas military post east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, near the border with Israel. The two Hamas military posts were destroyed.

The attacks were in response some 500 homemade sound bombs thrown at Israeli army forces stationed on the border between eastern Gaza Strip and Israel, Israeli media reports said.

An Israeli army spokesman confirmed that the Israeli army forces targeted posts that belong to Hamas militants in eastern Gaza Strip in response to night protests and demonstrations close to the fence on the border with Israel.
