Palestinian worker hurt by Israeli gunfire

GAZA CITY (Ma’an) -- A Palestinian worker has been injured by Israeli gunfire in the north of the Gaza Strip, local residents said Wednesday.

The 19-year-old worker was collecting stone aggregates when Israeli forces opened fire toward him, injuring his left leg, in the northern Bedouin village in Beit Lahiya, locals said.

He was taken to Kamal Adwan Hospital where doctors said his injuries were moderate.

Israel's army did not immediately return a call late Wednesday.

About this blog

This is a blog about Gaza farmers, workers and all the civilian population living in Gaza Strip rural communities along the Green Line, suffering from daily Israeli attacks and resisting the implementation of a so called "buffer zone" by the Israeli Occupation Forces.

Note: this blog is focusing on Israeli attacks on civilians inside or around the so called "buffer zone". Attacks on resistance fighters, or attacks, usually airstrikes on civilians further inside the Gaza Strip, or along the Egypt border (apart from the eastern areas such as Al Shoka or the airport area) are usually not mentioned.
