Israeli occupation forces opened fire today at Palestinian farmers east of the city of Khan Younis, in the south of the Gaza Strip. No injuries were reported

"Israeli occupation forces stationed at the borderline east of the city opened fire at the farmers who were working in lands east of the aforementioned city, forcing them to leave the area," Safa correspondent said.

Israeli occupation forces deliberately target farmers working in lands located at the borders north and east of the Strip, and often prevent them from accessing them to plant and plow them.

Israel does not allow Palestinians to be within 300 meters from the borders, which it unilaterally declared as a buffer zone, and often opens fire at the farmers and whoever reaches those areas.
