The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened machinegun fire toward east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip at dawn Friday.

Local sources said that Israeli forces stationed along Gaza borders reportedly opened heavy live fire and teargas and flare bombs at Palestinian agricultural lands.

Israeli navy and border forces routinely open fire at Palestinian fishermen and farmlands along the Gaza border in a blatant violation of the last ceasefire deal reached between Israel and the Palestinian factions in Gaza in May 2021.

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened machinegun fire toward the east of the border town of Abasan in the southern Gaza Strip on Friday morning.

Local farmers were forced to leave their agricultural border lands following the shooting attack.

Over the past week Israeli forces opened fire at Gaza border areas for six times and attacked Palestinian fishermen off Gaza shores for seven times.
