IOF shoots 2 Palestinians in northern Gaza

A group of Palestinians crowded near the border fence in the Gaza strip and Israeli Occupation Forces fired upon the group, injuring two young Palestinian men, according to medics. According to Gaza health ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qidra, as told to the Palestinian Information Center, the IOF fired upon this group of civilians gathered east of Beit Hanoun. A 20-year-old man was hit in the chest and is in serious condition, while the other man, aged 22, was shot in the hand and suffered moderate injuries, al-Qidra added. They were both transferred to hospitals in Gaza to receive treatment. According to the IOF as told to Ynet, one Palestinian was fired upon after attempting to "sabotage the fence" after the group did not heed calls for dispersal. This region of the Gaza Strip has seen numerous Israeli violations of the truce signed with Palestinian leaders last November, especially against Palestinian civilians and farmers near the border fence.
