GAZA, (PIC)-- A Palestinian young woman was seriously injured Wednesday morning in the explosion of ordnance left by Israeli forces in the vicinity of the Gaza International Airport, east of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. Palestinian medical sources said that 21-year-old Massouda Raba Abu Shalouf was seriously injured by the explosion of a suspicious object left by Israeli forces and transported to the Abu Saif al-Najjar hospital in Rafah. In a separate context, a Palestinian worker was shot by Israeli forces while on site near Erez, east of Beit Hanin in the northern Gaza Strip. Medical sources said he is in a fair condition. Israeli occupation forces have from time to time stepped up aggression in the border areas along the eastern Gaza Strip border, targeting agricultural land and private property and employing snipers to pick off laborers.
