A Palestinian youth was killed by Israeli soldiers’ gunfire to the east of Gaza on Thursday morning the Palestinian health ministry said.
Spokesman for the ministry Ashraf al-Qidra said that the body of the Palestinian youth was transferred to the Shifa hospital adding that his identity was not yet known.
Palestinian refugees have started a sit-in on the Gaza borders since last Friday 30/3/2018 as part of the Great March of Return event demanding their right to return to their homeland from where they were forcibly evacuated in 1948. Israeli army forces fire at those peaceful demonstrators live rounds and teargas canisters since then.
The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli gunfire since last Friday thus rose to 18 while about 1500 others were injured.
