12:20am on Tuesday 6 April 2010, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) positioned at the north separation fence opened fire on protestors taking part in the weekly demonstration against  the 'security buffer zone' near the fence.
No casualties or  injuries were reported in this incident.
Hundreds of Palestinians moved towards the northern borders and stopped few meters away from the northern separation fence to protest against the 'buffer zone'.
The IOF fired indirectly on the demonstrators and the demonstrators left the area immediately.
  The 'Popular Campaign against the Buffer Zone' consists of several Palestinian liberation organization (PLO) and several groups of nongovernmental organizations.
This demonstration is weekly organized on Tuesdays in places near the separation fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel.
It is organized to express solidarity with Palestinian farmers who work near the borders and can't reach their lands to work.
It is also organized to  protest against Israel's attempts to enforce the security 'buffer zone' inside the Gaza Strip.
