Israeli army attacks Gaza farmers with machineguns

Friday 20-January-2017

The Israeli occupation army early on Friday opened heavy machinegun fire on Palestinian farmers in eastern Rafah and Khan Younis cities in southern Gaza Strip.

Reporting from the scene a PIC news correspondent said Israeli army troops deployed in the Kissufim military base to the south of the blockaded Gaza Strip opened heavy machinegun fire on Palestinian farmers.

No injuries were reported in the attack.

The Israeli occupation army and naval forces have often targeted Palestinian farmers and fishermen in the blockaded Gaza Strip with randomly-unleashed spates of machinegun fire in a flagrant violation of the ceasefire accord struck with the Palestinian resistance factions following the 2014 offensive on the besieged coastal enclave.
