In the first breach of the ceasefire in Gaza, Israeli occupation forces open fire on a group of Palestinians killing one and injuring seven others on Friday.

The Palestinian emergency service identified the martyr as Abdelhadi Qdeih Anwar, 21. They said he was killed in the southern Gaza Strip village of Khuzaa. Seven other Palestinians suffered gunshot wounds.

"The occupation forces opened fire on a group of farmers," Gaza emergency service spokesman Adham Abu Selmiya said.

An Israeli occupation army spokeswoman could not confirm the incident, saying only that "disturbances" had broken out on the Palestinian side of the Gaza border early on Friday, “prompting Israeli soldiers to fire warning shots.”

Gaza ceasefire took effect late Wednesday after eight days of Israeli offensive against the besieged enclave.
