Israeli soldiers fired, on Friday morning, many gas bombs at Palestinian farmers and bird hunters east of Khuza’a town, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Eyewitnesses said the soldiers fired a barrage of high-velocity gas bombs at the Palestinians, on their lands near the permitter fence.

They added that the attack did not lead to injuries but forced the Palestinians to leave their lands in fear of further Israeli military violence.

On Thursday, the soldiers abducted two Palestinian farmers east of Khan Younis.

The army frequently attacks farmers, shepherds, workers, and fishermen across the eastern parts of the coastal region and in Palestinian territorial waters, leading to dozens of casualties, including fatalities, in addition to preventing the Palestinians from tending to their lands and from fishing to provide for their families.

In March of 2021, the Palestinian Interior Ministry in Gaza said Israeli mines were responsible for an explosion that led to the death of three fishermen.

In related news, the soldiers shot a young Palestinian man in Deir Jarir village, east of Ramallah, in the central part of the occupied West Bank.
