Five Palestinians were injured one of them seriously after being shot by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday in the demonstrations launched along Gaza’s eastern border according to the spokesman for Gaza’s Ministry of Health Ashraf al-Qedra.
Qedra said in a previous statement that the shoot-to-kill policy pursued by the IOF snipers against the Palestinian protesters since 7th December led to killing 8 Palestinians and injuring 535 others in the Gaza Strip.
He pointed out that 8 women and 47 children the youngest of whom is a 6-month-old baby were among the injured.
Mass demonstrations and violent clashes have been witnessed all over the occupied Palestinian territories since 7th December following the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
