Israeli military forces have shot and injured a Palestinian farmer in the Gaza Strip, a day after they killed a Palestinian in the northeastern city of Beit Hanoun. Yesterday, Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian dead in the northeastern Gaza Strip city of Beit Hanoun, a week after they killed another Gazan in the south of the enclave.
Reports from Gaza said the victim, a young man of about 20, was killed and four others wounded on Friday after they came under fire by Israeli forces near the border.
The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the incident.
Most of the Israeli attacks take place in the so-called buffer zone along the eastern perimeter of the Gaza Strip. It is the most fertile area in the blockaded coastal enclave and it has over thirty percent of Gaza’s arable land. Dozens of Gazans have lost their lives in recent years while farming or collecting scrap metal.
On December 14, Israeli troops targeted a Palestinian when he approached a so-called forbidden security zone east of Khan Yunis, near the southern border fence with Israel. The Palestinian subsequently succumbed to his injuries.
The Israeli military often targets Palestinians along the border with the Gaza Strip, which remains literally cut off from the outside world by a crippling Israeli blockade.
The siege has turned the densely-populated coastal sliver, home to some 1.7 million Palestinians, into the largest open-air prison in the world.
Meanwhile, Israeli troops continue targeting Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, where they regularly raid Palestinian houses.
On Thursday, Israeli troops shot dead Saleh Yasin, 29, during a military operation in the city of Qalqilya.
The Israeli military claimed that he had shot at Israeli forces on several occasions. But Palestinian sources said Yasin was ambushed by the Israeli forces when he was on his way home.
On Wednesday, Israeli soldiers killed another Palestinian, identified as Qassem al-Saadi, and injured several others in the northern West Bank city of Jenin.
According to Palestinian rights groups, over a dozen Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in the first half of 2013 and nearly 1,800 Palestinians, including women and children, were seized during the same period.
