Israeli occupation soldiers attack Palestinian towns

Palestinian sources said five Palestinian policemen were slightly to moderately injured in Gaza when several Israeli artillery shells hit their barrack. Two Palestinian farmers were also injured east of Gaza Tuesday when Israeli occupation troops opened fire on them while working in their field, INA reported.

The report added "Israeli troops also pounded civilian neighborhoods in Rafah at the southern tip of the Gaza Strip. In al-Khalil, an Israeli mob attacked Palestinian shops in full view of Israeli occupation troops. Eyewitnesses said the heavily armed settlers vandalized Palestinian property and fruit stands, prompting the Palestinians to hurl stones back on the settlers."
