Two Palestinians were injured at daybreak Thursday one reported in critical condition from an Israeli tank shell fired at them when they approached the border with Israel east of Rafah to the south of the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Local sources said the Israeli army fired a tank shell at two Palestinians when they approached the border fence hitting the two who were rushed to Abu Youssef al-Najar hospital.
Medical sources said one was in critical condition and the other sustained moderate injuries.
Hours earlier the Israeli army stationed at the Gaza border had opened fire at four Palestinians who approached the fence injuring one said to be 15 years of age who was left bleeding on the ground until he was arrested by Israeli soldiers and taken into Israeli-occupied territory.
