GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Israeli shelling left one Palestinian dead while four other people were wounded in separate incidents in Gaza Friday morning, medics said.

Gaza medical services spokesman Adham Abu Salmiya said 16-year-old Victor Batniji was dead when he arrived at Gaza City's Shifa Hospital. He said a second person sustained "serious" injuries in the same incident.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said officials were looking into the report.

Abu Salmiya said two men in their 20s arrived at Kamal Udwan hospital in Beit Lahiya after being shot in the legs by Israeli forces after venturing into the northern "buffer zone" near the Israeli border to collect firewood.

In another shooting, local sources said a 16-year-old boy was also shot in the leg by Israeli soldiers while working on his family's farm in the village of Khuza'a, near Khan Younis. He was taken to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, according to Abu Salmiya.

Earlier Israeli warships fired on Israeli fishing boats off the coast of Deir Al-Balah and Khan Younis. No one was reported injured.

Separately, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, Al-Quds Brigades, said it fired several mortars at Israeli special forces near the Kissufim military installation.

Palestinian medical sources reported Friday morning that a Palestinian child was killed in al-Shujaeyya, east of Gaza City, and another resident was seriously injured, when an explosive, left by the army during an earlier invasion, detonated near them east of Gaza City, the Arabs48 News reported.

Adham Abu Salmiyya, spokesperson of the Emergency Unit at the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza in Gaza, reported that the body of Montaser al-Batteekhy, 16, was moved to Dar al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.

Abu Salmiyya added that the wounded resident was moved to the Intensive Care Unit due to the seriousness of his condition.

Also on Friday, three Palestinians were wounded by army fire in northern and southern Gaza.

Two of them were wounded while collecting wood north of Beit Lahia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Furthermore, a 16-year-old child, from Khuza’a in Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, was shot and wounded while working in his family’s land near the border.

Israeli troops frequently attack farmers and laborers who work in Palestinian lands located near the border fence.

Soldiers do not allow the Palestinians to approach the border fence under claims of preventing infiltrations into Israel or into nearby military camps.

Israeli army chief Lieutenant-General, Gabi AshkeNazi, stated: "The next round (of fighting) will be extensive and it should end in such a way where there is no doubt as to which side triumphed." Ynet News quoted Ashkenazi on Wednesday as he was addressing Israeli troops based near the Gaza strip.

The Lieutenant-General also pointed out the Israeli military' is ready for a wider action against the coastal enclave.

Ashkenazi's remarks come only days after Israeli airstrikes were carried out in different locations across Gaza.

Israel launched an all-out military offensive on Gaza in late December 2008 killing over 1,400 Palestinians, most of whom women and children.

The coastal strip has been under the Israeli-imposed blockade since June 2007, after Hamas took control of the region following democratic elections, making a disastrous impact on the humanitarian and economic situation inside the enclave
