  At app.
8am on Thursday 25 March 2010, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) which are usually positioned in the vicinity of the Sofa crossing, in north east of Khan Younis opened fire sporadically on Palestinian workers.
As a result, Naji Suliman Alabed Abu Reda, 35, was injured in the top of his right thigh.
He was admitted to the European Gaza Hospital where his injures are described as moderate.
These workers were 500 meters away from the separation fence removing rubble from destroyed buildings in the vicinity of Sofa crossing.
These workers collect rubble to sell it to brick factories which recycle it into bricks.
This is the only source of bricks for construction that is available in the Gaza Strip, which suffers from an acute shortage of construction materials due the Israeli siege.
