Israeli Gunfire Wounds 7 Palestinians Near Gaza Border

HeadlineMay 18, 2012

Israel has launched new attacks on the occupied Gaza Strip. On Thursday, seven Palestinians were wounded after Israeli forces opened fire near the Israel-Gaza border. At least three of the victims were said to be farmers. Another Palestinian farmer said he fled the shooting.

Nafez Jindiyah: “We are farmers. We were planting, and we left our tools behind us. We also left our donkeys and cars to the east from here. Suddenly the Israelis started to shoot on us so we ran away.”
