At approximately 11:05 am on Tuesday 13 December 2011, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) stationed in concrete watchtowers along the northern separation fence between Gaza and Israel opened heavy fire on a peaceful demonstration of the Popular Campaign against the Buffer Zone.
  30 Palestinians and two international solidarity activists had moved to within roughly 150 meters of the northern border, reaching an agricultural area, when the IOF opened fire at them.
  No casualties or injuries were reported in this incident.
According to Al Mezan’s field investigations, at approximately 10:30 am on Tuesday 13 December 2011, 30 Palestinians and two international solidarity activists, accompanied by a tractor, walked in a march from the Agricultural Secondary School to a point near the border in order to guard a plot of 10,000 square meters of unplanted land about 300 meters away from the separation fence.
 The demonstrators planted the area with barley, and left the area at approximately midday.
