Israeli forces shot live ammunition at 5 international human rights workers and 10 farmers from Khoza’a as they harvested crops several hundred metres from the Green Line.

In the morning, human rights workers joined Palestinian farmers in Khoza’a village, located east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, to farm land 300-350 meters from the ‘Green Line’.

Israeli forces opened fire on the workers and they were forced to leave the area.

Several farmers have been shot by Israeli forces while farming their lands.
