A Palestinian child died at dawn Saturday from wounds he sustained after being shot by the Israeli occupation forces while participating in the peaceful Great March of Return east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip on Friday.
Medical sources said that the 15-year-old Azzam Oweida died from a serious injury in the head raising the number of Friday’s martyrs to four.
On Friday three Palestinians were killed and 955 injured after being attacked by the Israeli forces with live ammunition and teargas canisters during the “Friday of Rebellious Youth” protests along Gaza’s eastern border.
The three martyrs were identified as Abdulsalam Baker 29 Mohammed al-Muqayyad 21 and Khalil Atallah 22.
The number of the Palestinian protesters killed by Israeli gunfire since the launch of the Great March of Return on 30th March has increased to 46.
