The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday morning attacked Palestinian fishermen and farmers in the west and east of the besieged Gaza Strip.
According to local sources Israeli gunboats opened machinegun fire at fishing boats during their presence off the coast of Gaza City forcing them to return ashore.
Meanwhile the IOF fired live ammunition and tear gas canisters from watchtowers at a group of farmers as they were working their swaths of land in a border area in the east of Khuza’a town south of Gaza. The intensity of the shooting forced the farmers to leave the area.
Earlier at dawn the IOF kidnaped six Gazan fishermen and confiscated their boat during their presence within a few nautical miles off the shore of Rafah.
Under an inhumane siege the Israeli army keeps attacking — sometimes injuring or killing — farmers and fishermen almost on a daily basis without any shred of respect for mediated ceasefire deals in Gaza or even the international law.
