Palestinian child injured by Israeli gunfire east of Gaz

A Palestinian child was injured Tuesday evening when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at a group of Palestinian citizens near the border east of Gaza city.

A medical source said that a child was wounded in the head by shrapnel from a live bullet while he was standing close to the Great March of Return camps east of Gaza.

Eyewitnesses said that the child was injured when the IOF heavily opened fire at a group of peaceful protesters near Gaza’s eastern border fence.

Since the start of Gaza border protests on 30th March, 176 Palestinians have been killed by the IOF and over 18,000 injured.
