Israeli forces targeted Palestinian fishermen and farmers in the southern besieged Gaza Strip, on Tuesday morning.
Eyewitnesses told Ma’an that Israeli naval forces opened heavy fire towards Palestinian fishing boats, within the permitted fishing zone of six nautical miles, off the southern coast of Rafah.
The fishermen were forced to head back to shore in fear for their lives.
No injuries nor detentions were reported.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces also opened fire at Palestinian farmers while working in agricultural lands, east of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.

The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave, which has been under an Israeli air, land and sea blockade for nearly 12 years.

Local sources confirmed that Yousef Abu Aysha, 15, was repeatedly physcially assaulted by Israeli forces on an Israeli military checkpoint in Tel Rumeida as he was passing through with his mother on Saturday evening.

Tel Rumeida is located within the area of the city designated as H2, an area taking over the bulk of Hebron's Old City that is under full Israeli military control, and the site of five illegal Israeli settlements which continually expand into surrounding Palestinian neighborhoods.
The Israeli-controlled H2 area is home to 30,000 Palestinians and around 800 Israeli settlers who live under the protection of Israeli forces.
Some 800 notoriously aggressive Israeli settlers now live under the protection of the Israeli military in the Old City of Hebron, surrounded by more than 30,000 Palestinians.

A 23-year-old Palestinian fisherman was shot and injured by Israeli naval forces off the northern coast of the besieged Gaza Strip, on Sunday.
Locals told Ma'an that Israeli naval forces opened heavy fire at one of the Palestinian fishing boats while working three nautical miles off the northern coast, which is within the permitted fishing zone, and injured a fisherman.
Sources said that the fisherman was injured with rubber-coated steel bullets in his neck and back.
The fisherman, whose identity remained unknown, was taken to al-Shifa Hospital, west of Gaza City, to receive necessary medical treatment.
His medical condition was described as moderate.
As part of Israel's blockade of the coastal enclave, the Israeli army, citing security concerns, requires Palestinian fishermen to work within a limited "designated fishing zone," the exact limits of which are decided by the Israeli authorities and have historically fluctuated.
Palestinian fishermen, who try to make a living off the shores of the blockaded coastal enclave face daily risks, including routine harassment from Israeli naval forces, confiscation of boats and materials, detention and live fire.
Local rights organization, Al-Haq, has documented many cases of Israeli aggression toward Palestinian fishermen off the Gazan coast, calling the Israel's action against the fishermen "collective punishment" that imposes "difficult economic and social conditions."
According to the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), in 1994, a permitted fishing range of 20 nautical miles was agreed on between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). In practice, Israel only allowed fishing up to 12 nautical miles until 2006, when the fishing zone was reduced to six and later to three.
OCHA found that the blockade has seriously undermined the ability for Gazan fishermen to make a living at sea.

Israeli forces shot and injured a Palestinian youth in the Burin village, south of the northern occupied West Bank district of Nablus, as he attempted to prevent an Israeli settler attack, on late Friday.
Ghassan Daghlas, an official who monitors settlement activity in the northern West Bank, told Ma'an that the Palestinian youth, Ubada al-Najjar, was shot and injured with Israeli live fire in the thigh as Israeli settlers attacked Burin village.
Daghlas confirmed that al-Najjar was transferred to Rafidia Hospital in Nablus City for medical treatment.
Al-Najjar’s medical condition was described as stable.
Daghlas pointed out that eyewitnesses from the Burin village said that allegedly an Israeli settler, not an Israeli soldier, shot al-Najjar.
The Palestinian government has no jurisdiction over Israelis in the West Bank, and acts carried out by Israeli settlers often occur in the presence of Israeli military forces who rarely act to protect Palestinian residents.
Since the occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 1967, more than 600,000 Israelis have moved into Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory, in violation of international law.
The estimated 196 government recognized Israeli settlements scattered across the Palestinian territory are all considered illegal under international law.
