The Israeli navy and the army attacked, Wednesday evening, Palestinian fishermen and farmers in the southern parts of the besieged Gaza Strip.
Media sources said the Israeli navy ships fired many live rounds, gas bombs, and flares at Palestinian fishing boats near the shores of Rafah and Khan Younis.
They added that the navy chased the Palestinian boats to the shore, denying them the right to fish to provide for their families.
Also, Israeli soldiers fired many live rounds and gas bombs at Palestinian agricultural lands near the perimeter fence east of Khuza’a town, east of Khan Younis, forcing the Palestinians to leave.
On Tuesday evening, Israeli navy ships attacked Palestinian fishing boats near the shore, west of Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

The attacks are part of constant Israeli 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 confiscation of many boats after abducting the fishermen.
In March of last year, 2021, the Palestinian Interior Ministry in Gaza said Israeli mines were responsible for an explosion that led to the death of three fishermen.
