July 25, 2022

Israeli occupation forces fired, on Sunday, many live rounds and high-velocity gas bombs at Palestinian farmers, shepherds, and fishermen, in the southern parts of the Gaza Strip.

Local sources said the occupation soldiers, stationed in military bases across the fence east of Khan Younis, fired dozens of live rounds into Palestinian farmlands and shepherds east of Abasan Al-Kabeera town, east of Khan Younis, forcing them to leave their lands.

The sources added that the occupation soldiers also fired live rounds and gas bombs at a sanitation truck east of Khuza’a, east of Khan Younis.

Also, Israeli occupation navy ships fired many live rounds at Palestinian fishing boats in Gaza territorial waters near the Rafah shore and sprayed them with wastewater mixed with chemicals.

The attacks are part of constant Israeli occupation violations against the Palestinians, especially the fishermen, farmers, shepherds, and workers in the besieged and impoverished Gaza Strip, and resulted in dozens of casualties, including fatalities, in addition to severe property damage and the seizure of many boats after abducting the fishermen.
