AhlulBayt News Agency - A Palestinian worker was injured Monday afternoon by Israeli gunfire east of Beit Hanoun to the north of the besieged Gaza Strip.
Local sources told the Palestine Info news reporter that Israeli occupation forces stationed at the eastern border areas opened fire towards Palestinian lands, injuring a 26-year-old young man.
The injured was immediately taken to al-Awda Hospital for treatment, the sources pointed out.
Meanwhile, Israeli navy forces arrested nine Palestinian fishermen off the shores of Gaza.
Spokesperson for the Palestinian police affirmed that a number of Israeli war boats had surrounded two Palestinian fishing vessels before escorting them to Ashdod port.
Nine fishermen, who were on board of the two confiscated vessels, were arrested during the attack.
The Israeli attack was carried out within the allowed fishing zone estimated at six nautical miles, the spokesman affirmed.
Earlier Monday, Israeli navy forces opened fire at Palestinian fishermen while sailing off Gaza shores but no casualties were reported.
Israel has routinely violated the ceasefire agreement reached on August 26, 2014 under Egyptian mediation. Its violations caused the deaths and injury of dozens of people, mostly fishermen.
