Two Palestinians were killed and dozens were injured on Friday when Israeli occupation forces (IOF) heavily opened fire at the peaceful demonstrators taking part in the Great March of Return in the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that Ali al-Ashqar 17 and Khaled al-Raba’i 14 were killed by IOF bullets.
At least 66 protesters were injured by live ammunition and tear gas bombs according to the ministry.
Thousands of Palestinian citizens demonstrated along the border fence between the Gaza Strip and the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories on the 73rd Friday of the Great March of Return.
Since the start of Gaza’s border protests on 30 March 2018 the Israeli occupation army has killed 327 Palestinians and injured over 32000 others.
