Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinian farmers and leveled lands in the Gaza Strip Tuesday morning, locals said.
Witnesses told Ma’an they saw three Israeli bulldozers enter the Palestinian side of the Gaza borderline and level lands near the border fence on the outskirts of al-Nahdha neighborhood east of Rafah. No injuries were reported.
Separately, Israeli forces reportedly opened fire on Palestinian farmers tending their land in al-Najjar neighborhood near the village of Khuzaa in the southern Gaza Strip. No injuries have been reported.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma'an they were looking into the reports.
Israeli military forces routinely enter the Gaza Strip near the “buffer zone,” which lies on the border between the besieged enclave and Israel.
Israeli military activities, which have become almost daily occurrences, often interfere with Palestinian farmers whose land lies in the area. Approximately 35 percent of Palestinian agricultural land in Gaza is inaccessible without high personal risk, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported in February at least 42 cases of Israeli forces opening fire on Palestinians in the buffer zone, on both land and sea sides.

Palestinian fishermen on Sunday afternoon set sail within nine nautical miles at Gaza sea following an Israeli decision to extend the fishing zone off some parts of the Gaza Strip coast.
Soon as the decision took effect, Gaza fishermen were able to set sail for nine nautical miles from central Wadi Gaza to Rafah southward.
Spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Agriculture Fayez al-Sheikh expressed hope that the fishing season would go for the better and that the Israeli occupation would keep to its promises.
Fisherman Mahdi Bakr said for the first time in several years Gaza fishermen are able to sail within nine nautical miles perimeter.
As part of Israel's blockade of the coastal enclave since 2007, Palestinian fishermen have been forced to work within a limited six-nautical-mile fishing zone off Gaza coast.

Two Palestinians were injured at dawn Saturday after Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) opened fire at Palestinian border areas in Rafah south of the Gaza Strip.
Local sources said that Israeli forces stationed at watchtowers east of Rafah opened their machinegun fire at two Palestinian youths while passing near the destroyed Gaza international airport.
Ambulance crews took time to reach the area before transferring the two injured to hospital for treatment as they suffered slight wounds in their feet.
Meanwhile, Israeli navy forces opened fire at a Palestinian fishing boat off Rafah shores. Palestinian sources affirmed that the fishing boat capsized after being directly targeted by Israeli war boats. The fishermen on board jumped into the water and swam back to shore.
The two attacks came as part of the Israeli almost daily violations to the ceasefire agreement signed on Aug. 26, 2014 with Palestinian resistance under Egyptian mediation.

Israeli navy boats fired, on Saturday at dawn, several shells and live rounds on a number of Palestinian fishing boats, near the Rafah shore, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, causing one boat to sink. Two Palestinians injured on Friday at night.
Eyewitnesses said the navy ships fired several shells at the fishing boats, close to the shore in Rafah, directly hitting one boat, causing it to catch on fire and sink.
There have been no reports of casualties in the attack as of this report.
The Israeli navy frequently targets fishing boats in Gaza territorial waters, and even while on shore, an issue that led to dozens of causalities, including several fatalities, and many arrests in addition to the confiscation of boats, the only sources of livelihood to dozens of thousands of Palestinian families in the besieged coastal enclave.
On Friday at night, the soldiers shot and injured two young Palestinian men, ages 26 and 24, in Palestinian agricultural lands, near the border fence, east of Rafah.

The two were shot with live rounds in their legs, and were moved to Abu Yousef Najjar Hospital suffering mild injuries.

A Palestinian young man suffered gunshot injuries while dozens others choked on teargas after Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) attacked peaceful protesters near the eastern border areas on Friday evening.
Local sources said that the young man was transferred to hospital in moderate condition after he was shot in his foot near the border fence.
Dozens of teargas suffocation cases were also reported among the protesters.
Since the outbreak of Jerusalem Intifada, the eastern border areas of Gaza Strip have seen weekly clashes between local protesters and Israeli forces stationed at the border fence.
Army Injures Five Palestinians In Gaza
Israeli soldiers shot and injured, on Friday, at least five Palestinians in different parts of the Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses said clashes took place after Israeli soldiers, stationed across the border fence, opened fire on Palestinians protesting against the ongoing Israeli escalation.
Medical sources stated that one Palestinian was shot with live fire, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
The sources added that four Palestinians were injured east of the al-Boreij refugee camp, in central Gaza, at least one of them with a live round, and was moved to the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah.
Many Palestinians suffered the effects of tear gas inhalation.

Israeli navy boats opened fire on Palestinian fishermen off the coast of the northern Gaza Strip early on Thursday.
Witnesses told Ma'an that Israeli war boats deployed off the coast of al-Sudaniyya in the besieged Palestinian enclave opened fire at fishing boats, forcing fishermen to head back to shore.
No injuries were reported.
An Israeli army spokesperson said Israeli forces fired "warning shots" into the air after a boat strayed from the "designated fishing zone" off the coast of the northern Gaza Strip.
As part of Israel's blockade of the coastal enclave, Gaza fishermen are required to work within a limited "designated fishing zone" of six nautical miles off the coast.
However, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights says that Israeli naval forces often open fire on fishermen within these limits.
On Wednesday, Gaza’s fishing union said Israel was planning to expand the fishing zone to nine nautical miles in the southern Gaza Strip. Israeli authorities have yet to confirm the information.
Due to the high frequency of the attacks, live fire on fishing boats often goes unreported.
Last year Israeli naval forces opened fire on Palestinian fishermen at least 139 times, wounding 24 and damaging 16 fishing boats, the center said.

Israeli authorities have reportedly decided to extend the allowed fishing zone by three additional nautical miles off some parts of the Gaza Strip coast starting in April.
The head of the fishermen's union in Gaza, Nizar Ayyash, told Ma'an that Israel decided to expand the fishing zone to nine nautical miles off the coast, from Wadi Gaza in the central Gaza Strip to the Egyptian border in the south.
The fishing zone would remain at six nautical miles off the coast north of Wadi Gaza, Ayyash said.
An Israeli army spokesperson said they didn’t have any immediate information on the reported expansion.
As part of Israel's blockade of the coastal enclave since 2007, Palestinian fishermen are required to work within a limited "designated fishing zone" off the coast.
The exact limits of the zone are decided by the Israeli authorities and have historically fluctuated, set most recently to six nautical miles following a ceasefire agreement that ended Israel's 2014 offensive on the strip.
However, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights says that Israeli naval forces often open fire on fishermen within these limits, putting their lives in danger on a near-daily basis.
Due to the high frequency of the attacks, live fire on fishing boats often goes unreported.
Last year Israeli naval forces opened fire on Palestinian fishermen at least 139 times, killing three, wounding dozens, and damaging at least 16 fishing boats.
The Israeli army often says in such circumstances that the use of live fire is necessary to deter potential "security threats,” a policy that has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sectors of the impoverished Palestinian territory, which has been under a crippling Israeli blockade for nearly nine years.

A Palestinian looks at the body of a boy killed in an Israeli air strike at a morgue in the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City, on July 9, 2014
Israeli rights group B’Tselem on Wednesday placed blame for the deaths of two Palestinian children killed in the Gaza Strip earlier this month wholly on the shoulders of Israeli decision makers who failed to make policy changes after countless similar cases.
“Despite repeated civilian fatalities and casualties, Israel refuses to change its policy and continues to adopt a distorted and far-reaching interpretation of the provisions of international humanitarian law in order to justify its position,” B’Tselem said in a statement.
“This policy is unlawful and immoral,” the group added.
B’Tselem released the report after meeting with Salman Abu Khussa, the father of six-year-old Israa and her 9-year-old brother Yasin, who were both killed in an Israeli airstrike on March 12.
Salman told B’Tselem: “At about 2:30 a.m. I woke up and felt as if an earthquake was shaking the house. As soon as I opened my eyes I felt the dust, and then came debris and sand and I couldn’t see anything.
“I heard the children shouting in the next room. I ran over immediately and saw them lying in their beds, covered in blood,” Salman said. His six children sleeping in the room at the time were rushed the the hospital.
“Yasin was in very bad shape, “ Salman continued. “After a few minutes he was pronounced dead of a serious head injury.” Israa died hours later from excessive bleeding in her brain.
Israeli forces had launched air strikes targeting a training camp belonging to Hamas’ military wing after a rocket was fired from the besieged enclave. No members of the military wing were injured in the attack.
B’Tselem said the Israeli army spokesperson failed to mention that the attack also hit the Abu Khussa home -- located around 50 meters from the military base -- which was struck by a block of stone or concrete that went through their roof after flying from the force of the blast.
The family was living in a makeshift shack they had resided in since their home was destroyed during Israel’s offensive on the Gaza Strip in 2014.
B’Tselem said that while Israel is bound to do everything in its power to avoid injury to civilians, its “longstanding policy of air strikes on the Gaza Strip reflects decision makers’ inconceivable disregard for the lives of the people living there.”
The UN reported last year that Israel killed more Palestinian civilians during the 2014 conflict in Gaza than in any other year since 1967, with over 1,400 civilians including at least 513 children killed during the offensive.
A two-year-old Palestinian and her pregnant mother were also killed in October when an Israeli airstrike caused their home to collapse.
Referring to the attack that killed the Abu Khussa children, B’Tselem said: “If there was in fact any justification for such an attack, other than its symbolic value, the military should have ensured that only the facility itself would be hit, and that civilians living in the vicinity -- whose presence was or ought to have been known to those planning the strike -- would come to no harm.
“Having failed to do so, the decision makers in both the military and political echelons bear liability for the children’s death,” the group added.
The condemnation of Israeli military protocol comes after outrage erupted last week when an Israeli soldier shot a Palestinian through the head, despite the fact that he had been lying incapacitated on the pavement for minutes prior.
The incident after being caught on tape brought heavy criticism that Israel’s policy of impunity towards Israeli military forces leads to regular and excessive use of force against Palestinians who are killed while posing no threat.
Israel in a rare move launched a probe shortly after the man's death and international bodies including the US and UN have demanded an investigation into the soldier's conduct, while many in Israel's right-wing have come out in defense of his actions.

Israeli forces on Tuesday opened fire on Palestinian farmers and fishermen working in the beleaguered Gaza Strip, locals said.
Witnesses told Ma’an that Israeli soldiers stationed in watchtowers along the borderline in the southern Gaza Strip fired heavily towards Palestinian agricultural land, forcing farmers to leave the area.
Israeli naval forces meanwhile opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats off the coast of the northern Gaza Strip.
No casualties were reported in either incident.
Locals added that a number of Israeli military vehicles crossed the border fence between Israel and the central Gaza Strip near al-Bureij refugee camp. Witnesses said Israeli helicopters hovered over the area during the incursion, adding that a large drilling excavator was seen in the area.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an they were looking into the reports.
Palestinian farmers and fishermen face frequent fire from Israeli forces inside of or near the military-imposed “buffer zone” on both land and sea. While the exact limits of the zone are often unclear, they are enforced with live fire.
