Israeli occupation forces opened fire on Friday evening on the houses and farmland of Palestinian residents in a city in the east of Gaza, Khan Younis. According to observers, this is the third time the Israeli occupation has violated periods of calm accepted by both the Palestinian and Israeli sides.

Israeli naval forces have fired at Gaza fishermen off the Rafah coast twice during the previous 72-hour truce. The third time was Friday evening. Witnesses and Palestinian medical sources reported no causalities from Israeli fire, either in Rafah or in Khan Younis.
