The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) targeted Palestinian farmers with live fire and teargas canisters east of Khan Younis in the south of the Gaza Strip on Saturday morning.
Local sources said that Israeli forces stationed along the border fence east of the town of Khuza’a to the east of Khan Yunis opened fire at Palestinian farmers forcing them to immediately leave their farmlands.
The farmers suffered from teargas inhalation during the attack.
The IOF troops routinely advance into the southern areas of the besieged enclave bulldozing agricultural land and destroying crops on the pretext of security concerns.
