IOF Opens Fire at Palestinian Bird Hunters near Erez Crossing

2-12-2011

At approximately 16:30 on Friday, 2 December 2011, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) opened fire at Palestinian bird hunters in Nisanit, the evacuated settlement northwest of Erez crossing. The victims were hunting birds approximately 300 metres from the northern border fence when the IOF opened fire at them. No casualties or injuries were reported but the incident scared the hunters and they left the area immediately.

About this blog

This is a blog about Gaza farmers, workers and all the civilian population living in Gaza Strip rural communities along the Green Line, suffering from daily Israeli attacks and resisting the implementation of a so called "buffer zone" by the Israeli Occupation Forces.

Note: this blog is focusing on Israeli attacks on civilians inside or around the so called "buffer zone". Attacks on resistance fighters, or attacks, usually airstrikes on civilians further inside the Gaza Strip, or along the Egypt border (apart from the eastern areas such as Al Shoka or the airport area) are usually not mentioned.
