GAZA, December 20, 2016 (WAFA) – Israeli forces on Tuesday morning opened fire at Palestinian farmers and fishermen during separate incidents in the north and south of the Gaza Strip, local sources said.
Israeli forces deployed at borderline military outposts east of Maghazi refugee camp, in central Gaza Strip, and east of Khan Younes, south of the Strip, opened fire at farmers who were working on their land, said the sources.
There were no reports of casualties but the farmers left the area in fear for their lives.
Israeli navy forces also opened fire at fishermen while sailing off the northern coast of the Strip. No injuries were reported, however.
Residents say they come under daily attack from Israeli army and navy forces, which interfere in their daily search for livelihood.
Meanwhile, Israeli warplanes flew low over several areas of the Gaza Strip on Tuesday and for the second day, said residents, breaking the sound barrier and making loud sonic booms causing panic in the streets.
