Israeli forces shoot, injure child of fisherman in Gaza
Israeli forces shot and injured a Palestinian child near the shores of the Beit Lahiya village in the northern Gaza Strip, medics said.
Medics told Ma'an that Bilal Abu Amro, 11, was shot in the thigh while he was with his father, a fisherman.
He was taken to Kamal Adwan hospital for treatment.
An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma'an they were unaware of the incident.
Palestinian fishermen making a living off of the shores of the besieged Gaza Strip face daily risks, including routine harassment from Israeli naval forces, confiscation of boats and materials, detention, and potentially death.
