GAZA, (PIC)-- A Palestinian farmer was injured at the hands of Israeli occupation forces (IOF) while working in his field in Beit Hanun, in the northern Gaza Strip, on Monday.

Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra, the health ministry’s spokesman, told the PIC that the farmer was hit with a bullet in his foot, describing his injuries as moderate.

The IOF soldiers routinely target farmers working in fields near the border fence surrounding Gaza in flagrant violation of the calm agreement reached under Egyptian patronage two months ago.
