Israeli forces kill one Palestinian, injure two near Gaza fence

Zionist regime forces have opened fire on four Palestinian youths at a fence along the southern besieged Gaza Strip, martyring one of them and injuring two others.

According to reports, the casualties took place near the city of Rafah in the southern part of the Palestinian enclave on Monday when Israeli forces opened fire on the Palestinians approaching the border fence in the occupied territories to torch an abandoned Israeli sniper site.

As a result of the shooting, a Palestinian was killed, another critically injured and one arrested and handed over to security officials for interrogation, according to Palestinian media.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that a fourth Palestinian, a 16-year-old, was taken to the hospital in moderate condition after being shot in the shoulder.

In a similar incident last week, an Israeli tank fired at two Palestinian teenagers trying to cross into the occupied territories from Rafah, killing one of them and injuring the other.

Protests along the Gaza fence since March 30 have led to clashes with Israeli forces, where at least 135 Palestinians, including 14 children, have been killed. Palestinian protesters demand their right to return to their homeland. Over 15,000 Palestinians have also sustained injuries.
