Ma'an – The Abu Ali Mustapha Brigade said a sniper force fired at an Israeli soldier on Wednesday morning near the Abu Samra Gate, north of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip.
A statement issued by the brigade, affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said the Israeli force was standing by a tank when the attack occurred.
An Israeli military spokesman said the army was not familiar with incident.
The sniper attack was "proof" of the brigade's defense of Palestine, the statement read.
