Palestinian health official Moawiya Hassanain says six Palestinians were wounded. He says two were militants and the rest were farmers.
The Israel-Gaza border has been relatively quiet since Israel's military offensive against Gaza last winter. Gaza militants occasionally fire rockets and mortar shells toward Israel, and Israel troops fire at suspicious figures near the border fence.
