A Palestinian citizen suffered a bullet injury on Sunday morning when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at him in the east of Beit Hanoun, north of the Gaza Strip.

A reporter for the PIC new agency said that Israeli soldiers behind the border fence in the east of Beit Hanoun town fired rubber bullets at a citizen, injuring him in his chest and arm.

The victim was rushed to a local hospital in Gaza for medical assistance.

Many Palestinians from Gaza had already got injured or killed when the IOF opened fire at them during their presence in border areas or near the security fence.
