Three Palestinians were wounded Friday in eastern Gaza, sources of local medical services said, Xinhua reported.
Adham Abu Selmeya, spokesman of the Hamas-run medical services told Xinhua that three Palestinians were injured by the shrapnel of an Israeli tank shell and one of them was moderately injured.
"The three casualties that were injured by an Israeli tank shell near the borders between eastern Gaza city and Israel, were taken to Shifa Hospital for medical treatment," said Abu Selmeya.
However, an Israeli army spokesman told Israel Radio that the Palestinian report "is inaccurate," adding that the Israeli tanks didn't operate on Friday near the borders and didn't fire any shell at the area.
The spokesman said the Israeli army had a report that Gaza militants fired a homemade rocket from an area in eastern Gaza City, and the rocket hit a building belonging to The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), where three local workers were injured.
An Israeli army ground force rolled several hundreds of meters into the area on Thursday and destroyed several buildings used as stores for local vendors and merchants.
Witnesses said eight commercial stores and agricultural lands were bulldozed in eastern Gaza City, adding that the Israeli army forces are still stationed near the borderline between Israel and Gaza Strip.
