A man in his 20s is in critical condition after being shot by Israeli soldiers east of Gaza City on Wednesday morning, medics said. Medical services spokesman Adham Abu Salmiya told Ma'an the man was shot in the thigh while hunting for birds in the Shujaiyeh neighborhood. An Israeli army spokeswoman said that soldiers identified a "suspicious individual" approaching the security fence. She said soldiers shot the man in the legs after he failed to respond to orders to leave the area.
