The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Tuesday morning attacked Palestinian farmers and fishermen in the besieged Gaza Strip.

A local field observer told Quds Press that four army bulldozers and one excavator infiltrated into a border area inside Gaza, particularly on the eastern side of al-Nahda neighborhood in Rafah.

He said that the bulldozers and the excavators embarked on digging and leveling lands in the area, while Israeli soldiers fired some tear gas canisters at farmers in the east of al-Qarara town in Khan Yunis (southern Gaza).

The teargas attack forced the farmers to leave their plots of land and stay away from the area.

In the northwest of Gaza, Israeli gunboats opened machinegun fire at fishermen and their boats off the shore of Beit Lahia town. Luckily no one was hurt in the gunfire attack.
