"The IDF opened fire Saturday on a group of demonstrators that approached the security fence on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip.

The IDF reported that one Palestinian was wounded while Palestinian sources reported that six people were wounded, including one in serious condition. According to the Palestinian reports, the demonstrators were unarmed.

The Palestinians reported that a foreign activist Bianca Zammit was shot in the leg.

"They had no reason to shoot us. We posed no threat to them whatsoever," Zammit told AP Television News from a hospital bed.

The demonstrators were protesting what they call "the IDF's intention to create a security buffer zone around the Gaza Strip."
