| [Emirates 24/7] Four Paleostinians were maimed by Israeli gunfire in northern Gazoo on Thursday, including a 14-year-old boy who was shot in the head, Paleostinian medical sources said. The Israeli military confirmed that soldiers opened fire on several people who entered a security zone along Gazoo's northern border with Israel. A military front man, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said soldiers began shooting after firing warning shots, but that he was aware only that two Paleostinians were maimed, both being hit in their lower bodies. Adham Abu Selmiya, front man for the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-run medical services in the Gazoo Strip, told AFP that two people were seriously maimed by gunfire, and another two were lightly maimed. "Four workers were maimed as they searched for aggregate (gravel) in the northern Gazoo Strip, two of them seriously, including a 14-year-old The other maimed were a 17-year-old shot in the back, who was at death's door, an 18-year-old shot in the hand, classed as lightly maimed, and a 22-year-old also shot in the back whose injuries were light, he said. Soldiers regularly open fire on Paleostinians collecting building material from the rubble of destroyed buildings close to the border between the coastal enclave and Israel. Between March 26 and December 10 this year, Israeli troops have shot at least 19 Paleostinian children as they collected gravel in northern Gazoo, charity group Defence for Children International said this month. |
