Gaza City: The Israeli military said on Saturday that troops fired at Gaza gunmen moving near the territory's border fence with Israel.
Palestinian health official Moawiya Hassanain said six Palestinians were wounded. He said two were fighters and the rest were farmers.
The Israel-Gaza border has been relatively quiet since Israel's military offensive against Gaza last winter.
Gaza fighters occasionally fire rockets and mortar shells toward Israel, and Israel troops fire at suspicious figures near the border fence.
A tiny PLO faction, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, said its members were involved in Saturday's incident. The group claimed it fired six mortar rounds.
The military said it is unaware of mortar fire.
