Israel attacked a Hamas post in Gaza on Wednesday after gunshots from the besieged enclave hit an Israeli bulldozer near the Gaza border, the Israeli army said. A military spokesperson said militants from Gaza fired shots at civilians engaged in the construction of another barrier along the separation fence near the northern Gaza Strip, hitting an engineering bulldozer, Xinhua news agency reported.

No injuries were reported, the spokesperson added. Palestinian media reported that Israel fired smoke shells, apparently intended to create a smoke screen, to evacuate the workers.
