GAZA, (PIC)-- A Palestinian farmer was left to bleed to death in northern Gaza Strip after Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired at him and his colleague, who is reportedly in a serious condition, and blocked any attempt to evacuate him, medical sources reported.

They said that Saeed Al-Hasumi was hit with IOF bullets on Monday night along with the 15-year-old boy Masoud Tanbura.

The sources told the PIC reporter that medical teams could not immediately evacuate Hasumi due to IOF shooting at ambulance vehicles trying to evacuate him.

They earlier said that IOF soldiers fired at Palestinian farmers in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza injuring two of them and did not allow evacuating one of them.

A third farmer was injured in a similar incident near Beit Hanun also in northern Gaza on Sunday evening.

Palestinian resistance fighters retaliated to the IOF crime by firing two projectiles that landed in western Negev and wounded an IOF soldier.
