Ahlul Bayt News Agency - Israeli forces killed a Palestinian and injured another on Friday after opening fire at them near Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza.
Medical sources said that Mohammad Hamid al-Masri,17, was shot by Israeli forces and died instantly, and another Palestinian was moderately wounded.
Witnesses said the two were shot suddenly while walking near the buffer zone.
An Israeli spokesperson said "two suspects approached the security fence" near the buffer zone in the northern Gaza strip.
The spokesperson added that after the hit, the two suspects were then seen moving away from the fence.
Israeli forces opened fire towards civilians in the "security buffer zone" on land and at sea on at least 23 occasions during the last two weeks, according to the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
On two occasions, Israeli forces entered and leveled land near the fence inside the Gaza Strip.
A group of young men on Friday afternoon went on a march in protest at settlers' arson attack on two Palestinian home earlier on the same day in Duma village, south of Nablus, which claimed the life of a Palestinian toddler and badly injured his family.
