Israeli occupation forces on Thursday opened fire on Palestinian farmers and shepherds on the eastern borders of the Gaza Strip.

Local sources said the Israeli forces stationed on the border line machine gunned the farmers in Juhor ad-Dik village of Deir al-Balah Governorate in central Gaza Strip.

No word of injuries was reported, they added.

This coincided with heavy gunfire by the Israeli troops centering at Kissufim and Al ahrash posts against farmers and shepherds in eastern Al Qarara township, eastern Khan Yunis city, in southern the Gaza Strip, they underlined.
