Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at Palestinian farmlands in southern Gaza while IOF gunboats targeted Palestinian fishing boats off Gaza’s northern coast on Friday.

Local sources said that IOF soldiers stationed in military watchtowers to the east of Khan Younis southern Gaza Strip opened fire at the Palestinian farmers while tending to their lands in eastern Abasan al-Kabira and Khuza’a and forced them to leave their lands.

Meanwhile Israeli gunboats opened machinegun fire at Palestinian fishermen while working off the northwestern Gaza coast forcing them to return ashore.

IOF shooting at Palestinian farmers and fishermen in Gaza Strip is a daily occurrence.

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) targeted Palestinian farmers near the border fence east of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on Thursday.

According to local sources Israeli soldiers opened fire at Palestinian farmers working in their agricultural lands east of Khan Younis forcing them to leave the area.

Meanwhile the Israeli navy detained two fishermen for several hours and seized their fishing boat while sailing off Gaza shores on Wednesday evening.

The two fishermen were later released after being investigated.

Human rights sources earlier revealed that Israeli navy forces have committed 97 violations of Palestinian fishermen’s rights in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of 2022.

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.
