Hamas Political Bureau member Mousa Abu Marzouq has denounced the frequent attacks by Israeli occupation forces against Palestinian farmers and shepherds east of Gaza.

Abu Marzouq regretted that no one had taken a serious action to put an end to Israeli assaults against Palestinian farmers.

“No one moves for these assaults, but if one missile was fired from Gaza, many will do,” Abu Marzouq said.

Abu Marzouq’s comments came after Israeli occupation troops heavily fired tear gas at Palestinian farmers and shepherds working in their lands southeast of Dier al-Balah in central Gaza, killing a flock of sheep and forcing agricultural works to halt.
