GAZA, (PIC)– Two Palestinian workers were wounded on Saturday afternoon when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) fired at them east of Beit Lahia town to the north of the Gaza Strip.

Adham Abu Salmiya, the spokesman for the medical services, said that a 24-year-old youth was hit with a bullet in his knee while the other 29-year-old man was hit with a bullet in his foot, adding that they were both hospitalized.

Thus the number of casualties among workers, who were injured in IOF shooting since March last year, reached two martyrs and 121 wounded.

Tens of unemployed Palestinians are compelled to collect gravel in Gaza border areas and sell it in the market for a living after the IOF banned entry of that material into the Strip.
