[Attack against farmers, east of Jabalia]

PCHR

Sunday, 17 May 2015

At approximately 07:00, Israeli forces stationed along the border fence, east of al-Shuhadaa' Cemetery and east of Abu Safiyah area, east of Jabalia in the northern Gaza Strip, opened fire sporadically at Palestinian farmers in the area. The shooting resulted in fear among farmers, who were in the agricultural lands adjacent to the border zone. As a result, they fled for fear of being wounded. Neither injuries nor damages to the property were reported. At approximately 11:15 and 17:00, the shooting was resumed in the same area.

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.
