The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) opened fire on agricultural land at the edges of Khan Younes in the south of the Gaza Strip on Sunday, resulting in no injuries.

Eyewitnesses told MEMO sources that the IDF deployed at the Kissufim military fired electromagnetic bombs on farmland, causing mild damages to crops.

An unspecified number of Israeli jeeps first gathered near the Kissufim base, before a number of soldiers exited the jeeps and directed machine-gun fire and the e-bombs toward land in the east of Khan Younes, MEMO has heard.

No statements were issued by the IDF on the incident as of Sunday at 20:20 hours.
