GAZA, March 3, 2018 (WAFA) – A 59-year-old Gaza farmer was shot and injured by Israeli forces’ gunfire east of Khan Younis on Saturday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The farmer, who was not identified, was transferred to hospital with a bullet wound to the back. He was described in moderate condition.
Israel has imposed a 300-meter buffer zone inside the Gaza Strip along their common borders preventing Palestinians from reaching their lands near the border fence. It regularly opens fire at anyone who enters that buffer zone.
