Israeli occupation troops shot and wounded five Palestinian agricultural workers in the North of the Gaza Strip in the latest violence against Palestinians.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - According to the sources, the Palestinian workers suffered light to moderate wounds, Almanar reported. 

The Zionist military, however, claimed that soldiers opened fire after dozens of Palestinians approached the "no-man's-land" near the border fence and failed to heed the soldiers' warnings to back away. 

Gaza officials say over 30 people have been wounded in Israeli attacks violating the Egyptian-mediated ceasefire, which ended an eight-day war last month.
