A Palestinian youth was injured by Zionist gunfire north of the Gaza Strip on Friday, World Bulletin reported.

The 21-year-old man was shot in the back by Zionist soldiers in Jabaliya, north of the Gaza Strip, Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qodrah told media outlets.

The spokesman described as "stable" the health condition of the injured Palestinian.

Last week, at least 17 Palestinians were injured in Zionist gunfire during a protest against the occupation-imposed buffer zone along border with the Gaza Strip.

The enemy authorities has created a 300-meter buffer zone along border with the Gaza Strip, preventing Palestinian farmers from cultivating their farmland in the area.
