(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Gaza, May 21 (QNA) - Israeli forces on Saturday opened fire on Palestinian farmers, shepherds and fishermen in two areas in the southern Gaza Strip, witnesses said.
Israeli forces deployed east of the town of al-Qarara in the southern district of Khan Yunis opened fire at farmers and shepherds in the area, witnesses told Palestinian news agency (Ma’an).
According to locals, the Israeli forces also opened fire at fishermen in their boats off the coast of Gaza City.No injuries were reported.
On a near daily basis, the Israeli army fires "warning shots" on Palestinian fisherman, farmers, and shepherds entering the Israeli-enforced "buffer zone," implemented after Israel imposed a blockade on the Gaza Strip a decade ago.Due to the high frequency of the attacks, live fire often goes unreported.
