A Palestinian was shot and injured when Israeli forces opened fire east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Witnesses said that Israeli forces deployed along the border opened fire on Palestinian farmland, hitting one Palestinian man.
He has been taken to a hospital for treatment.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said she was looking into the incident.
Israeli forces have repeatedly opened fire on Palestinian civilians near the border since the ceasefire agreement signed Aug. 26, 2014 that ended a devastating 50-day war between Israel and Hamas.
In March alone, there were a total of 38 incidents of shootings, incursions into the Strip, and arrests, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR).
That was up from 26 incidents through February, and left seven Palestinians injured and one dead. more
