Gaza Woman Critical after Being Shot near Israel Border
A 42-year-old Gazan woman was in critical condition on Wednesday after being shot by Israeli troops near the border in central Gaza, Palestinian medical sources said.
The incident occurred in an area east of the central town of Deir al-Balah.
"She was shot by several bullets, one of which hit her in the chest," said Ashraf al-Qudra, spokesman for the Hamas-run ministry of health. "She is in critical condition."
The Israeli army was not immediately aware of the incident, but a spokeswoman said they would look into it.
