The incident, which occurred outside the deployment areas of the Israeli military, was reported by Al Jazeera Arabic citing sources from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.
The critical injury highlights escalating tensions in the region as Israeli forces are also conducting extensive demolition operations in areas under their control in Rafah, located in the southern Gaza Strip.
