GAZA (PIC)– Israeli occupation forces (IOF) arrested a Palestinian youth while trying to cross the Gaza Strip border fence on Wednesday.
Quds Press quoted local sources as saying that an unarmed young man in his twenties tried to cross the border fence to the east of Breij refugee camp in central Gaza Strip but was detained by IOF soldiers.
They said that the soldiers fired at the young man but did not hit him then ordered him to strip under gun threat before taking him away to an unknown location.
Infiltration attempts from the blockaded enclave into 1948 occupied Palestine had increased as of late looking for jobs. Dozens of young Gazans were rounded up since the start of 2016.
Earlier on Wednesday morning IOF soldiers escorted five military bulldozers into central Gaza near Deir al-Balah eyewitnesses told the PIC reporter adding that they then proceeded northwards.
