Israel occupation forces positioned at the borders of the Gaza Strip shot on Monday a Palestinian teenager in the city of Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza Strip, Filistine Online news reported.

Citing Palestinian medical sources, Filistine Online said that Jalal Abu Jarad, aged 16, was shot in the left foot when he was working on his father’s farm in the Bedouin Village in Beit Lahia.

Abu Jarad was taken by ambulance and admitted to Kamal Adwan Hospital in the north of Gaza.

After his injuries were examined and deemed moderate, he was transferred to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City to complete his treatment.

On Sunday, the Israeli occupation also shot another Palestinian citizen in the north of Gaza and several fishermen were reportedly arrested off the Gaza coast.

These incidents are considered to be breaches of the ceasefire deal, which was signed between the Palestinian factions and the Israeli occupation authorities with Egyptian mediation on 26 August.
