GAZA, (PIC)-- A Palestinian fisherman was wounded off the Rafah coast when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) aboard navy boats fired at him on Wednesday, medical sources reported. Dr. Muawiya Hansanein, the director of ambulance and emergency in the health ministry, told the PIC that the IOF fired at the Palestinian fisherman without prior notice. He described the fisherman's wounds as "moderate". Meanwhile, IOF soldiers arrested a Palestinian teen in front of his house in Sheikh Jarrah suburb, in occupied Jerusalem, last night. The teen's mother said that her son was fixing his bicycle when the soldiers came and took him to the Maskobeh detention center. In Al-Khalil, IOF troops severely beat up a Palestinian young man near the Ibrahimi Mosque in downtown Al-Khalil, local sources told the PIC, adding that the youth was carried to Al-Khalil hospital.
