Israeli soldiers stationed at the borders to the east of Khan Yunis in the south of the Gaza Strip opened heavy fire and tear gas canisters at agricultural land east of the town of Abasan, forcing farmers working in their lands to leave the area.

Soldiers also opened fire at herders east of the town of Khaza’a, also forcing them to leave the area for fear of being injured or killed.
