Gaza City:The Israeli forces on Friday shot dead a Palestinian citisen near Gaza border, the first casualty since the two sides agreed a truce ending their week-long conflict, Palestinian medical sources said.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it fired warning shots at a group walking towards the border fence, then fired at their legs when they did not respond.
The shooting on Friday, east of Khan Younis, left a number of other people injured, said the health ministry in Gaza.
Eyewitnesses said the group were farmers, while Gaza health official Adnan Abu Salmia said they had been trying to retrieve parts from a damaged Israeli jeep.
