On Saturday, Israeli soldiers fired several live rounds and gas bombs at Palestinian farmers and shepherds in the central and southern parts of the besieged Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses said the soldiers fired many live rounds and gas bombs at Palestinian shepherds on lands near the fence, east of Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza.
The soldiers also fired many live rounds and gas bombs at farmers east of Abasan al-Kabira town, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, forcing them to leave.
The attacks did not lead to casualties but forced the Palestinians out of their lands to avoid further Israeli escalation.
The attacks are part of frequent 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.
