Israeli planes Tuesday morning sprayed pesticides over Gaza crops and homes located in the border line area in Khuzaa Wadi al-Salka east of al-Buraij and south of Gaza.
Eyewitnesses told the PIC reporter that Israeli troops torched rubber tires along the border fence in order to determine the direction of wind for preventing pesticides from reaching Jewish settlers’ crops to the east of the separation fence. Israeli authorities claim that spraying pesticides in that area aims at killing weed plants at the border line.
A number of Palestinian farmers told the PIC reporter that the pesticides’ bad effects appear on plants two days after being sprayed.
