A Palestinian farmer was shot by Zionist forces while working in his fields several hundred meters from border fence.

  

The troops shot and martyred the Palestinian farmer in his fields along the Gaza-Israel border, a Palestinian official said Friday.

  

The 30-year-old farmer, later identified as Bahajadth Abu Daka, was shot from an Israeli army position along the border fence, and another farmer, his cousin, was wounded, according to Dr. Moaiya Hassanain of the Gaza Health Ministry.
