Israeli forces open fire at farmers and shepherds in the Gaza Strip

Israeli occupation army opened its heavy machine gunfire and fired tear gas canisters at Palestinian farmers and shepherds in the southern and central Gaza Strip, according to sources.

Israeli soldiers stationed at the borders opened heavy fire and tear gas canisters at farmers working on agricultural land to the east of Rafah city in the southern Gaza Strip.

Soldiers also opened fire at herders east of the al-Maghazi refugee camp in the center of the Gaza Strip, forcing them to leave the area for fear of being injured or killed.

There were no reports of injuries in both attacks.

Israeli forces regularly open fire at Palestinians who come within several hundred meters from the border fence between Gaza and Israel, whether to work on their lands or to herd their cattle.
