IOF infiltrates border area attacks fishermen in Gaza

Monday 11-May-2020

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Monday morning carried out a small-scale incursion into a border area in the south of the besieged Gaza Strip and attacked fishermen in Gaza waters.

Eyewitnesses said that two military bulldozers advanced a few meters into a border area in the east of Khuza’ah town in Khan Yunis south of Gaza and carried out bulldozing activities.

During the incursion the IOF opened fire sporadically towards cultivated plots of land to prevent farmers from approaching.

Meanwhile Israeli gunboats carried out a renewed shooting attack on Palestinian fishermen and their boats off the coast of Gaza. Luckily no one was hurt in the attack.

On Sunday morning the Israeli navy opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the northern coast of Gaza.

The navy also confiscated one fishing boat and caused damage to nets of other boats during yesterday’s attack.
