GAZA, Saturday, January 7, 2023 (WAFA) – Israeli army today targeted agricultural lands to the south and in central Gaza with heavy machine gunfire and tear gas canisters.

Israeli soldiers stationed at military watchtowers along the borderline fired heavy machine gunfire and a barrage of tear gas bombs toward agricultural lands to the east of the town of Khazaa, east of Khan Yunis city, as well as toward lands located to the east of al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, forcing Palestinian farmers to leave their lands for fear of being injured or killed.

Forces further targeted a sanitation vehicle to the east of the town of Khazaa with tear gas canisters, however, no injuries were reported.

Israeli soldiers at the border regularly attack Palestinian farmers working on their lands near the fence to keep them away from that area.
