IOF arrests 2 Gazan youths for trying to cross border fence

Wednesday 22-November-2017

The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday arrested two Palestinian youths from the Gaza Strip for allegedly trying to sneak into the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories.

Walla website reported that the IOF opened fire at the two youths injuring one of them near the border fence to the north of the Gaza Strip.

The Hebrew website claimed that one of the two Palestinians was “armed with a knife” noting that the injured youth was transferred for treatment. The news has not been confirmed by any Palestinian source.

Many Gazans try to sneak into the 1948 occupied Palestine in search for job opportunities which are hard to find in the Gaza Strip in view of the decade-long blockade and the deteriorating living conditions in the enclave.
