Medical services coordinator in Gaza Adham Abu Silmiyyeh said a 27-year-old man sustained a gunshot wound in the left leg and was transferred by ambulance to the Kamal Udwan Hospital in Jabaliya. The shooting is the fourth reported in the past week, with workers injured and taken to hospital. Israeli forces have said that the men were identified by soldiers as they approached the no-go zone, a unilaterally declared buffer area inside the Gaza Strip reaching some 1,000 meters wide in some points according to the UN, fired warning shots and when workers failed to retreat shot at their lower bodies. An Israeli military spokeswoman said she would look into the latest report.
