Israeli Soldiers Shooting at Farmers in Abassan Jedida

Abassan Jedida, The Gaza Strip - 12th February 2009

The Israeli military continues its attack on Palestinian civilians and human rights workers in the Gaza Strip.

On Tuesday 27th January 2009, in Abassan, Israeli forces shot at several farmers, killing one.

27 year old Anwar was working picking parsley and spinach in the village agricultural lands, approximately 700 m from the Green Line, when Israeli jeeps opened fire with machine guns from behind the Green Line shooting more than 30 bullets in quick succession, eyewitnesses reported. Many of the seven farmers working in the area scattered, taking shelter from the shower of bullets. Anwar, however, was shot in the neck, dying instantly.

Human rights workers have been accompanying the farmers from Abassan in the wake of Anwars murder. The Israeli soldiers however continue to attack them, as can be seen in this video.

@MrJBSTINE Sure thing, kike.

[MrJBSTINE]

@SteelCityDucati Great, wonderful, thanks for the insightful and constructive contribution to the discussion. Go find a playground.

@MrJBSTINE Yep, you sound like a kike.

They're warning shots...if they wanted, they'd write their initials into your foreheads! I dont agree with the shooting of civilians in any capacity, as i believe it to be cowardly and unneccesary, however in the big picture looking at both sides, I am in support of Israel

Israel is going to get what they deserve in the near future. They are totally isolated now. Egypt and Turkey are no longer their allies.

***** Israel gouvernment is the new Nazi SS today *****

What happened to the Jews by the Nazis at that past time, they do the same today with the Arabs.

***** Shame - and the whole world looks on. *****

Only Premier Erdogan and Turkey do not close their eyes.

who talks about terror does not know what terror means. This is a good example of terrorizing civilians by an army under their government's watch
