At approximately 9:10am on Saturday 27 November 2010, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at a group of Palestinian civilians as they were collecting scrap and rubble from the destroyed structures near the border fence between Gaza and Israel.
The group was about 450 meters from the border fence near the evacuated settlement Eli Sinai northwest of Beit Lahyia, in the North Gaza district when IOF fired at them.
As a result, Shamikh Sa'eed De’bes, 15, who is from Jablaia town, was injured in the left leg.
Medical sources at Kamal Odwan Hospital described his injury as moderate.
The civilians were terrified and left the area without finishing their work.
According to Al Mezan's field investigations, the civilians carried De’bes on a donkey driven cart to the Al Waha area, west of Beit Lahiya, because the area of attack is close to the border fence and dirt roads do not allow ambulances to reach there.
