Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at Palestinian shepherds east of the central Gaza Strip on Friday.
According to the PIC correspondent Israeli soldiers stationed in military watchtowers east of the central Gaza Strip opened their heavy machine-gun fire and fired tear gas bombs at Palestinian shepherds forcing them to leave the grazing area to the east of Deir al-Balah city.
The IOF deliberately opens fire towards agricultural lands in the Gaza border areas on a daily basis imposing restrictions on Palestinian shepherds and preventing them from grazing their sheep which is their sole source of livelihood.
