Israeli forces opened fire on a group of Palestinian farmers and shepherds in eastern Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to eyewitnesses.
Witnesses told Ma'an that Israeli forces deployed at the border fence opened fire on Palestinians who were in nearby agricultural lands, with no injuries reported.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an they had no information regarding shots being fired in Khan Yunis.
Israeli military forces have opened fire on Palestinian farmers near the border at least six times since the beginning of 2016, injuring one in January.
Forces also entered the besieged enclave with bulldozers and leveled agricultural lands on Tuesday near the village of Khuzza in the southeastern Gaza Strip.
Palestinian farmers and fishermen face frequent fire from Israeli forces inside of or near the military-imposed “buffer zone.” While the exact limits of the zone are often unclear, they are enforced with live fire on both land and seaside borders of Gaza.
The Israeli army often says in such circumstances that the use of live fire is necessary to deter potential "security threats,” a policy that has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sectors of the impoverished Palestinian territory, which has been under a crippling Israeli blockade since 2007.
