During the three days of wheat harvest in the southern Gaza Strip, "Israeli" occupying forces attacked women farmers and international human rights activists.

As a result of these attacks, substantial wheat remains not harvested despite the fact that severe poverty and food shortage take over the area.

First day of Harvest was Tuesday, where the attack did not take place in the 300 m buffer zone, but snipers approached the harvest site, conducting live ammunition on women collecting the wheat. Four International Solidarity Movement (ISM) activists were also present there.

After the enemy's jeeps left, the women continued their harvest after they refused to leave. Activists present in the field, communicated with the "Israeli" troops by megaphones, in order to explain the non-threatening nature of the work.

Following the Tuesday attacks, Wednesday came along with shooting inside of the 300m buffer zone. The "Israeli" enemy military jeeps approached the zone at 7 a.m. firing heavily, in the presence of 5 ISM activists and 2 journalists.

Snipers also took part in Wednesday's attacks, where they shot almost 50 times on the harvesting women, causing them to crawl along the ground, along with the activists and journalists.

"Israel" has been known for its brutal violent military and inhumane attacks, where its flying bullets would result in many casualties, mostly innocent civilians and activists.
