Thousands of Palestinian citizens on Tuesday marched in the funeral of a Palestinian medic who succumbed to wounds he sustained after being shot by the Israeli forces in the Great March of Return in May.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said that Mohammed al-Jadili 36 was shot by an Israeli sniper in the face while providing medical help to demonstrators in the Great March of Return on Gaza border on 3 May.
The marchers raised Palestine flags and chanted slogans calling for holding Israel accountable for its crimes against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health accused the Israeli occupation army of deliberately targeting medical teams and obstructing their humanitarian work in Gaza protests.
It called on the international community and human rights organizations to protect unarmed citizens in all Palestinian cities who are subjected to various forms of killing by the Israeli occupation army.
The ministry said that the Israeli army in the Great March of Return that started on 30 March 2018 has killed four medics and injured 685 others.
