A Palestinian farmer on Saturday morning suffered a bullet injury when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at a group of citizens working their lands in the central Gaza Strip.

Local sources reported that Israeli soldiers opened fire at Gazan farmers as they were on their lands which are located 300 meters away from the security fence in the east of al-Maghazi refugee camp.

They affirmed that one of the farmers was injured in the gunfire attack and was rushed to Shuhadaa al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah.

The sources added that Israeli military vehicles escorted by troops also carried out a limited incursion into the eastern border area of Deir al-Balah.

In a separate incident the Israeli naval forces opened machinegun fire at some Palestinian fishermen as they were on their boats in the northern waters of Gaza with no reported injuries.
