GAZA, July 13, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli forces Thursday opened live fire toward Palestinian shepherds and farmers along Gaza borderline to the east of the town of Juhr Addik, south east of Gaza, said sources.

Israeli soldiers stationed at watchtowers along the borderline area to the east of Gaza, opened heavy machine gunfire on farmers and shepherds.

No injuries were reported.

Israeli forces target farmers along the borders almost on daily basis, breaching the ceasefire agreement reached in Cairo on August 26th.
