Israeli soldiers opened fire, on Friday morning, on farmers, and fishers, in Palestinian agricultural lands, and territorial waters, in several parts of the besieged and impoverished coastal region.
The WAFA Palestinian News Agency said the soldiers, stationed on a number of military towers across the border fence, east of Khan Younis in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, fired many live rounds at Palestinian farmers, working on their lands, close to the border fence.
It added that a similar attack targeted farmers and their lands, in Johr ed-Deek area, in central Gaza, forcing the Palestinians away.
In related news, Israeli navy ships opened fire on Palestinian fishing boats in Gaza waters, in the northern part of the coastal region.
On Thursday evening, the soldiers abducted a young Palestinian man, who reportedly crossed the border fence, in northern Gaza, and took him to an unknown destination.

Israeli naval forces opened fire on Palestinian fishermen off the coast of the northern Gaza Strip Friday morning.
Head of the Gazan fishermen union Zakariya Bakr told Ma’an the Israeli naval boats opened machine gun fire at fishing boats while they were sailing three nautical miles into the sea, inside the boundaries of the six nautical mile limit set by Israel.
No injuries were reported.
An Israeli army spokesperson said they were looking into reports.
The Israeli army regularly detains and opens fire on unarmed Palestinian fishermen, shepherds, and farmers along the border areas if they approach Israel’s unilaterally declared “buffer zone,” which lies on both the land and sea sides of Gaza.
The practice has in effect destroyed much of the agricultural and fishing sector of the blockaded coastal enclave.
Gazan fishermen, whose numbers are estimated to be around 4,000, have suffered from the near decade-long siege of the Gaza Strip, which limits their incursions to just six nautical miles into the sea in accordance with the ceasefire agreement signed with Palestinian factions in 2014.

Several occupation bulldozers moved into the northern Gaza Strip, near the town of Beit Lahia, on Thursday morning.
According to Al Ray Palestinian Media Agency, approximately seven D9 bulldozers penetrated 100 meters into the northern border of Beit Lahia, from the western gate of Zikim.
The bulldozers razed the area along the separation fence, amid the flight of reconnaissance aircraft.
Farming in the Gaza Strip’s “buffer zone” is hazardous under the best circumstances. Israeli forces routinely shoot live ammunition at Palestinian farmers in the free-fire area, which stretches hundreds of meters into the besieged territory, from the barrier, separating it and Israel, invading their fields with tanks and bulldozers.
