Israeli soldiers shot, on Friday morning, seven Palestinians in various parts of the besieged Gaza Strip, just as the Palestinians started the nonviolent processions on their lands, hundreds of meters away from the border fence, in several parts of the coastal region.

Medical sources said the soldiers shot three Palestinians in the al-Boreij refugee camp, in central Gaza Strip, one in Rafah, in southern Gaza, and three others in Jabalia, in the northern part of the coastal region.

The Israeli attack came just as the nonviolent processions were starting in the Gaza Strip, while the Palestinians were hundreds of meters away from the border fence.

On Thursday evening, the Palestinians installed tents 700 meters away from the fence, east of Gaza city, while medics installed mobile clinics, especially since the army is preparing to use live ammunition against the nonviolent protesters.

It is worth mentioning that the army infiltrated cellular networks in Gaza, especially phones owned by organizers of the processions, and tried to provide false information regarding places of protests.

Earlier on Friday morning, the soldiers fired tank and artillery shells at Palestinian farmers, east of the Al-Qarara area, east of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, killing one, identified as Omar Wahid Nasrallah Sammour, 27, and seriously wounding another.

The fatal Israeli attack, and the injuries, came shortly after the Israeli military, and the political leadership in Tel Aviv, have decided on “shoot to kill orders” against Palestinians who breech, or even approach the border fence.

The Israeli Cabinet also decided to significantly increase military deployments, in addition to using live fire and shoot to kill orders “if the Palestinians breach (or approach) the security fence” in the besieged coastal territory.

On Thursday evening, the soldiers shot seven Palestinians, near border areas east of Khan Younis, and Gaza city.
