IOF opens fire at Gazan protesters

Saturday 19-November-2016

The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) on Saturday evening opened heavy fire and teargas bombs at dozens of Palestinian youths east of al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza Strip.

Local sources told Quds Press that dozens of Palestinian youths gathered near the border fence following the funeral of the young man who was shot and killed yesterday by the IOF.

Violent clashes broke out when Israeli forces opened their machinegun fire at the youths.

Gazan youths responded by throwing stones at the soldiers who fired teargas bombs during the confrontations.

No casualties were initially reported during the clashes.

Earlier on Friday evening the health ministry spokesman in Gaza said that Mohammed Sa’eed Abu Saada was killed when Israeli forces opened fire at Palestinian protesters.

Two other young men were also injured in the same area by IOF shooting meant to disperse the weekly youth protest against Israeli violations in Occupied Jerusalem and the West Bank.
