Israeli forces shot a twenty year-old Palestinian farmer as he
worked his land in the village of Al-Faraheen, east of Khan Younis
in the Gaza Strip.
International Human Rights Activists were accompanying the group of
farmers at the time as they worked approximately 500m from the
Green Line.
Mohammad al -
Breem, 20, was shot in the right leg as the
farmers, together with the international Human Rights Activists,
attempted to leave the area having worked on their land for 2 hours
in full view of the Israeli forces situated along the Green
Line.
As the farmers were loading up the parsley and spinach from the
agricultural lands shots were fired from Israeli forces on the
border. Mohammad was shot in the right leg and evacuated, while
still under fire, to hospital.
International Human Rights Activists have repeatedly witnessed
Palestinian farmers being shot at by Israeli forces as they attempt
to work on agricultural land situated within 700m of the Green
Line.
On Tuesday 27th January 2009, in Al Faraheen, Israeli forces shot
at several farmers, killing a 27 year old farmer.
