Alwaght- Israeli regime forces on Saturday opened fire at Palestinian farmers in southern besieged Gaza Strip.
According to Quds Press, Israeli shooting coincided with unusual moves by Israeli army inside the borderline amid intensive flying of Israeli drones.
Palestinian farmers were compelled to stop working and leave their lands in order to escape the unprovoked shooting by Israeli regime forces.
The Gaza Strip has been under a crippling Israeli siege since 2007. The blockade, which has cut off the territory from the outside world, has led to an economic and humanitarian crisis in the densely-populated enclave.
On April 30, the UN urged Israel to end its crippling blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Elsewhere extremist Jewish settlers Saturday stole olive crops of Palestinians in Bourin town to the south of Nablus city in the northern West Bank.
Reports say Jewish fanatic settlers from Yitzhar outpost attacked Palestinian farmers and showered them with stones then confiscated their crops of olives. Israeli troops turned a blind eye to settlers’ offensive practices.
Israeli troops also hindered the arrival of a bus carrying foreign solidarity passengers who volunteered to help Palestinians in picking olives, a key part of the Palestinian economy which Israeli settlers try to cripple by routinely damaging, uprooting, poisoning, or burning down the trees.
According to Middle East Eye, $12.3m is lost in Olive income each year in Palestine by damage caused by Israeli settlers.
