At least one Palestinian was killed while two others were injured as Israeli forces shelled the Gaza Strip after an Israeli soldier was shot along the border of the coastal enclave.
The Gaza health ministry confirmed that a 24-year-old man was killed and two others were wounded in the shelling one of them is in a critical condition.
The incident occurred when Israeli military shelled a site in the eastern Gaza Strip affiliated with the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades Hamas’s armed wing.
The attack came shortly after an Israeli soldier was slightly injured near the border fence in the southern Gaza Strip.
Gaza home to more than two million people has been under a crippling Israeli blockade for 11 years that has imposed enormous barriers to the movement of Palestinians.
The siege has devastated the local economy severely restricting the entry of food and access to basic services.
